Feelings...
14. "I'm slow at everything."

29. "My life was like the development of western civilization: Before my stroke, was like the rise of the Roman Empire, then when my stroke hit, I was thrown into the Dark Ages. Finally, after years of struggle, I emerged into the Industrial Revolution..."

Solutions...
63. "I can't button my sleeve on my good left arm, so I use collar extenders on the cuff button. This gives me a little extra room so I can button the cuff first, then slide my hand in."

Tips on Finding a Job...
79. "Explore new and different types of work you can do part time, full time, or as a volunteer."

    "You have inspired many people by handling your adversity in the most positive way. What your spirit has done is greater than 70 home runs."

You are marvels! I just read the newsletter for the month [11/07], and it is simply priceless (I always read them, and they are all noteworthy, but this one is beyond good.) Paul, your book is in my book as something that all clinicians should have, read, pass on (ie, make them buy) to their clients.

I came across your website today and just wanted to congratulate you on providing a helpful resource for stroke survivors and healthcare professionals
