I'm sorry to hear about your stroke, and I'm glad to see how much progress you're making. Its very refreshing to see, in a way. My mom had a stroke at 58 in September and it seems she faced the same obstacles as you: lost speech/aphasia/apraxia and right-side paralysis. I just want to tell you that I've ordered your book and look forward to reading it with her soon, and I appreciate that you wrote it. I hope the (unforunate) similarities in stroke aftermath will help motivate her a little more.
I do have two questions. With the aphasia, do you find it difficult to comprehend letters and numbers, and what is your preferred or main way of communicating? What tricks were helpful to you while recovering from the aphasia?
Again, Debra, thank you so much for writing your book and sharing your story.
