NEVER THE SAME BY MY BROTHER RANDY TERRY - TIMELESS
Never The Same. By Randy Terry
So many times I hear I want my life back, Said it myself, made myself miserable. Now 6 yrs post stroke I see I will never get the old life back its impossible. The trials of this stroke and recovery has changed my life forever and for the good..
I am a survivor and the things I have learned about life will not allow me to return to the old..Sure some of the things I loved doing are gone but I have adapted to change not easy but no choice.
For the first few years of this I played that pity thing mad at the world, why me. One day got up ,tired of this got to be a better life after stroke. Put the wheelchair in corner picked up walker and started this hard work. Soon I was on cane doing the same thing ,it is not easy by no means but guess what not only was I walking but I felt proud thats why you hear me say "Stand Tall And Proud.. "Its not a secret hid from you its what you want out of life. Do not waste your time in this place its very lonely and nothing there to gain but misery. I am no writer ,not smarted than you ,it takes time to heal ,just got to get that brain thinking right and get up and get it done. Time is on your side you got plenty of it so don't think its got to all come at once work slow and steady it will come.. rt.
Thanks brother!

along with all involved, have made true history! I assure you
that never before since mankind has been on this planet has
something like this ever happened!

4 YEARS AGO TODAY THE COURSE OF MY LIFE CHANGED FOREVER
(What's on Aaron's Mind)
4 Years ago today the course of my life changed forever!
IT'S MY SECOND CHANCE BIRTHDAY!
I was for sure supposed to die!
So positive were they I was going to die they would not work on me for 24 hours! They thought why waste resources on a person that was going to die within 24 hours!
They even gave my family a live viewing! A live viewing is when they wheel your gurney mostly dead, into the chapel so the family can say their last goodbye's.
But guess what?
I WAS GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE ON THIS PLANET!
I SURVIVED WHEN I SHOULD HAVE DIED!
So every year my family throws me a Celebration of life!
Today a family BBQ at Spring Lake Park!
GOD I LOVE MY WIFE Rebecca Hensley-Avila my son Ryan Avila and my Mother in law Cynthia Johnson. It is them that give me the ability to be who I am today!
I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE!

SOMETHING YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT ME
Below are not excuses about me but just cold hard facts!
- I will sometimes make the wrong decision! Why? I am a stroke survivor!
- I will fixate on an issue! Why? I am a stroke survivor!
- I will use inappropriate language! Why? I am a stroke survivor!
- I may not sleep for days! Why? I am a stroke survivor!
- I will inappropriately dump my anger for the way I am on you! Why? I am a stroke survivor!
- I will want to raise millions of dollars in a few weeks to help other stroke survivors around the world to the point of acting like a beggar? Why? I am a stroke survivor!
- I will act totally irrational and think I am totally appropriate? Why? I am a stroke survivor!
This one thing I know 100% for sure!
My intentions for all Second Chance Stroke Survivors are true! To help all stroke survivors around the world!

With every fiber of who I am as a man on planet earth, I love each and every one of you!

INTRODUCING OUR NEW CO LEADER OF SCSS WEST ST. LOUIS COUNTY MO CHAPTER OF SECOND CHANCE STROKE SURVIVORS

THE TONGUE IS THE NEW INDICATOR FOR STROKE - REPOST!
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue
I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!
STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters..... S. T. R.
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ....she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.
Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this.
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE:
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently), (i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency numberimmediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke - Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!

I NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU
What's on Aaron's Mind
Talking to my old classmates, friends and family.
I need help understanding something please.
About a week ago I started trying to raise funds for Second Chance Stroke Survivors. In that week I had a total of 2 donation.
I'm trying to raise enough funds to be able to hire an Attorney to file the needed paperwork with the Government so I can help stroke survivors around the world even more than I already have. It's my passion in this Second Chance I have been given on this planet.
The way and I see it is if each person I know gave just $20.00 each I could hire the Attorney, file the needed paperwork and start a fund to help stroke survivors around the world in financial need! Just $20.00 can greatly impact a stroke survivors life!
The two donations I received was from:
Have I not shown you guys how worthy Second Chance Stroke Survivors is of your support? You guys have seen Second Chance Stroke Survivors has become a global movement!
Tell me what I need to do so you want to happily give $20.00 each?
I'm not sure what direction to go?
I'm not sure what direction to go?
Please I need to hear from you?
