DIVINE

So, I have an awesome 22 year old son named Ryan and we were talking last night, just him and I. I'm always telling how lucky we are that I did not have my stroke when he was young! How my heart breaks when I see young stroke survivors with young children. We were fortunate to live a lifestyle before my stroke that most only dream of when their 60.
We would spent 3-4 days a week in the summer on a lake.............wake boarding and fishing in our 18' wake board boat. Self employed! 
12 years self employed, owner of National Storage Tank and Rain Harvesting Solutions Inc. Allowed our family to spend most of the summer on a lake!
Owned a 40' triple slide 5th wheel pulled behind an 08 awesome Dodge diesel, Inferno Red, Mega Cab. Allowed us to buy and sell 4 houses in 2 states. Lived on and were members of a semi-private golf course where I got a 198 yard hole in one! Played more golf than most do in a lifetime. Lots of the most awesome family times we could have! Taught my son to play ball, shoot, fish, wake board and a whole lot more!
Ryan said last night it's like..................divine! 
We were allowed to live this awesome lifestyle early before my massive stroke!
Fortunate? Divine? Yes! With every fiber of my being, I say yes!
Hard to believe but we're................. I'm glad I had my massive stroke when I did!
DIVINE!

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE A STROKE SURVIVOR

I thought I would take some time and try to put into words what it's like to survive a stroke. Use the comments section below to tell me your version. So here goes!
One second your living your life as normal, walking, talking, your brain controlling your body flawlessly, working as one without any thought to whats happening. THEN..................STROKE OR ALSO KNOWN AS A BRAIN ATTACK!
Your life as you knew it ends........
Your now someone completely different! As if your old self dies and you emerge a stroke survivor. For me waking up for the first time knowing something is really wrong with me. You can't move the left side of your body. Your paralyzed, you can't walk anymore, you can't speak intelligible words, your brain seems to be totally disconnected from your body. You can no longer write but can only make only squiggly lines. You can no longer hold the courser of a mouse on a computer because you now tremor so badly. You can't chew or swallow anymore.......scary.... yes! Can't even put words together that would describe the fear you feel.
All you can think about is what just happened! You were just fine one minute and now your laying in a hospital bed with all kinds of beeping machines hooked to you! I mean you can't fathom the fear!
TO BE CONTIUED
