GOT IT BLOG PEEPS!
I'm going to start Blogging about my experiences as a stroke survivor!
Let's call it
"Aaron's Stroke Chronicles" #AaronsStrokeChronicles

IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME PEEPS!
Give me 2 weeks!
HELP ME UNIVERSE PLEASE! I GO DOWN STROKE SURVIVORS WORLDWIDE LOSE THEIR LEADER!
Hi!
I'm Aaron Avila creator of a global movement on Facebook called: Second Chance Stroke Survivors Worldwide
Want to know more about what I do? #unitingtheworldthroughstrokesurvival
My Story
My near death experience
So I believe 2016 is the year of miracles for all mankind!
Why?
It's like I feel it in the core of who I am as a man!
So I spend around 10 hours a day on my computer helping the most amazing people on planet earth! Stroke survivors!
It's awesome because my stroke left me wheelchair bound on September 17th 2010.
I would have not created a global movement nor help 1,000's of stroke survivors around the world unless I was wheelchair bound!
You see, Oprah Winfrey taught me "Bad things happen for us not to us"
I would not be doing what I do without surviving a major brain aneurysm and stroke! "It happened for me not to me"
So my family has been poor living only on 19k a year. Yes Disability for us stroke survivors pays below the poverty line despite what you may think!
My point:
Lately my computer (desktop) has been acting up. Night before last it went completely black screen!
About an hour ago my awesome wife Rebecca did something and it started working again!
It feels like warning shots that catastrophic failure is eminent!
So I'm going to step out in faith and throw this need out to the universe and see what happens? Are you in a place you can help me and purchase it?
Here's the tower only quote I got from Dell. It's a tad robust because I do graphics work.
Like my brother Joel Osteen says, I will wait expectantly!
Okay universe do your stuff!

DOES YOUR STROKE BRAIN DO THIS? WAM
WAM = What's on Aaron's Mind
Does your stroke brain do this?
Mine does, unfortunately to the people that are close to me. My stroke brain gets on a train of thought insisting it's right on something to the point of saying something, only to offend people and hurting their feelings. Only to find out I was 100% wrong and the train of thought was only my stroke brain fixating!
Oh, and try to apologize to the people on the other end trying to explain what your stroke brain has done!
Of course they can't comprehend my explanation of my stroke brain. They just can't understand!
It's 100% wrong for us to expect non stroke people to understand what it's like to be a stroke survivor!
They can only love and have sympathy!
Only another stroke survivor can have true empathy and understanding.
You feel me peeps?
Love you,
Aaron

WHO IS AARON AVILA?
Hi peeps!
As our global movement called Second Chance Stroke Survivors Worldwide continues to grow and gain momentum, you probably should know about who created the global movement.
Hi!
My name is Aaron Avila.
Born and raised 45 minutes north of San Francisco in Bay Area town called Santa Rosa.
Adopted at birth by Nonie and Vern Avila.
I have a 2 year older sister Andrea Avila who was also adopted at birth.
Born 9-1-63
My current age is 52
Age at time of stroke 47
Before my stroke I owned my own water storage tank and rainwater harvesting companies for 12 years.
Here's a picture of me in San Francisco 7 months before my brain aneurysm and stroke.
Here's my two favorite photos 6 months after my stroke.
My stroke story!
Deficits: Can’t walk, Dysarthria, Balance issue, Social filter loss. To many to list!
Married 25+ years to the most awesome and amazing women on the planet! Rebecca Avila
Father to the most awesome son on the planet!
How I truly feel:
I was the type of guy that could do about anything I set my mind to.
Cutting down a 80’ tree….no problem!
Designing a water or rain harvesting system…..no problem!
Running a crew building a 100,000 gallon water storage tank…………..no problem!
Running and owning my own companies National Storage Tank and Rain Harvesting Solutions Inc. for over 12 years BS (Before Stroke).

Then the course of my life would change forever!
I was doing the day to day grind and I truly believe there was only one thing that would stop me dead in my tracks!
A stroke and "Near death experience"!
This event in my life forced me to fully re-evaluate all the things I, like most everyone, took for granted!
Life itself, walking, talking, feeling one with my body, family, friends but I truly believe that I’ve been given a SECOND CHANCE!
I would come to believe wholeheartedly that this was a type of gift!
Yes this stroke is the hardest thing I would ever face!!!
But I was alive! Given a gift that the majority of people on this planet don’t have!
The chance to live two lives in this one! A second chance to learn not to take it all for granted!
Yes this stroke is the hardest thing I would ever face!!!
But I was alive! Given a gift that the majority of people on this planet don’t have!
The chance to live two lives in this one! A second chance to learn not to take it all for granted!
In beginning part of me was so angry, suicidal, and felt ripped off but what I have learned since my stroke makes it all worth it!
I should have a big sign on my forehead…….Under Major Reconstruction!
I’m far from learning it all!
I should have a big sign on my forehead…….Under Major Reconstruction!
I’m far from learning it all!
I would have to say and know with all my heart that if it was not for my incredible family and friends and their support I’d be in a much different place!
Tears of thankfulness run down my face! Go stroke survivors!
WE'RE NOT VICTIMS WE'RE SURVIVORS!
Never Give Up!
With allot of care!
Aaron Avila

HEY STROKE SURVIVOR! DO YOU ALWAYS LOOK IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR OF YOUR LIFE?
I just wrote this to a dear stroke survivor sister of mine.
Sister, you know I love you but I need to say what's on my heart!
You know me, just keeping it real!
As the creator of the global movement Second Chance Stroke Survivors Worldwide I've seen 1,000's of stroke survivors.
The only tormented stroke survivors I've met are those stroke survivors always looking in the rearview mirror of their life!
The real problem with the stroke survivor who always looks backwards is they lose sight of where their going.
These seem out of reach HOPE, LOVE, SELF WORTH AND A LOVE AND GRATEFULNESS FOR THEIR PRESENT LIFE HARD AS IT IS!
Remember my dear grasshopper sister ............. the wolf inside your soul you feed the most will also run that person's heart!
I speak with true love!

STROKE SURVIVORS I STRUGGLE DAILY JUST LIKE YOU!
You know I was just commenting to my dear sister Cindy Starner, replying to her comment on an inspirational quote I created.
Her comment was to kind! And I quote!
My reply .......... Quote!
"Sister thanks for the comment but please never forget I'm a stroke survivor just like you guys! Like today! Battling negative energy and a feeling of being frustrated because I'm soooooooooooo XXXXXX UP!
And I quote ................. "What you see is a spiritual gift!"
You see peeps, I really can take no credit! It was a divine gift I received with my second chance and my near death experience!
So if you don't think I struggle with this life shattering event called stroke .............. THINK AGAIN! I struggle maintaining a positive outlook on a daily bases!
I cry, I get depressed, battle chronic pain on a daily basis! And what seems like a million other things!
I was just given a special gift! Not of myself but a gift from God! A near death experience gift, and if a gift, how can I boast or get an ego over all I have accomplished on a global scale? It is a gift from God! I can't take even the slightest credit!
You see my brother and sister stroke survivors around the world. God gave me this awesome gift because he loves each one of you so much!
That's who he made me!
I actually give you my peeps the credit! For it's because of you I've received this awesome, powerful and amazing gift of love!
A love so deep to the core of who I am as I am as a man!
I have cried for you, I have laughed with you, and so much more! I love each of you peeps!
I feel it is my purpose to tell the world, through the cataclysmic life event called stroke I have found the most amazing people on planet earth!
IT'S YOU MY BROTHER AND SISTER STROKE SURVIVOR! YOU'RE THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE ON PLANET EARTH!
WHAT'S AWESOME I WAS GIVEN GIFTS SO I CAN TELL YOU!
THIS IS WHY I SAY
