Mother's Day 2006 it happened.. was a Stealth Volunteer working on getting family pets home to Hurricane Katrina victims who had resettled. Female, Forty seven years old, heart attack, major stroke disabled me. Life changed for me. Learn what having a stroke was like from a stroke survivor. Learn about having to relearn talking, walking, sight, writing, dressing, cooking, laundry, homemaking, reading, history, math, vacuuming, driving. Everything. How to count, how to say ABCs, what each means, learning to not bow head always, learn to not fall down when walking alone. So much to learn. Almost as if you are a 47 years old newborn.
