BOUND AROUND THE WORLD AS ONE

WAM (What's on Aaron's Mind)-POWERFUL
So pretty much since I created SCSS 6 months ago, there has been a brother Denny Wehrung whom I have not got chance to talk to until now!
For those that have been a stroke survivor for a while you know just how hard it is if not impossible to find fellow stroke survivors that have the same deficits you do? To share common struggles specific to the deceits you have. (I believe we are all bound together as one. Bound by one of the most powerful forces on the planet as Second Chance Stroke Survivors) But there was something so inspiring to talk with that fellow survivor struggling with the exact same struggles as you!
I met him today and SCSS made it possible!
Ya he was in Pennsylvania and I'm in California but we were able to connect like mankind has never done before!
I got a new SCSS slogan from it......"Taking stroke recovery to whole different level".
WE ARE BOUND TOGETHER AS ONE AROUND THE WOLD THROUGH STROKE SURVIVAL!

THANKSGIVING

I wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving!
I want everyone to know that I'm so very thankful that each and everyone of you are a vital part of my Second Chance life on this planet!
Lots of real love,
Aaron

ABOUT ME

About Aaron Avila

Hi I thought you may want to know who I am.

Cuurently Age: 50 September 1st 1963

Age 47 when I had a major aneurysm and two weeks later had a major stroke: 

September 17th 2010. The day the course of my life changed forever!

Deficits: Can’t walk, Aphasia, Balance issue

Married 22+ years to one of the most awesome and amazing women on the planet! Rebecca Avila

Father to the most awesome son on the planet!  

Ryan Avila 22                                                                                                 

Born and Raised: Santa Rosa California

Adopted to Verne and Nonie Avila

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 an 100,000 gallon water storage tank…………..no problem! Running and owening my own companies National Storage Tank and Rain Harvesting Solutions Inc. for over 12 years BS (Before Stroke) done!

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 is a really condescend version.

This cataclysmic event in my life forced me to fully reevaluate 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 whole heartedly that this was a 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!

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 Re-Construction! 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
