Stroke


Hello everyone, As most of you know I have been hanging out at the U of U! Thursday I guess I didn't want to go to school so I had a massive stroke and took a helicopter ride here. About 2 days ago I was deemed stable and now I have been sent to rehab. I want to thank my roommates, my family and friends for everything you have done and are doing for me. THANK YOU! In rehab I have been doing speech, occupational, and physical therapy all day, and it is hard. I also got to mak a new friend. His name is frank and he works here at the hospital. Tonight he snuck me me a chocolate shake.
Sometimes it's hard to think about how long this recovery is going to take but most of the time I am just in awe at how lucky I am.

    Charlie,your experience ought to count as about a dozen credit towards your degree - not many students get such an intensive practicum!
    Thank you for being such an example of faith and hope for all of us. We love you and you are always in our prayers.

    Honey, I just find out and I'm so slow and so amazed! I was really lucky to find out so late because then I wasn't freaking out. And that's just me being selfish! WHAT AN ORDEAL! I can hardly believe all the junk you've been through and then this! Good thing God kinda likes you ;) I've been thinking of you often and praying for you more. I'm so glad that you're even keeping up on my blog! That means you can TYPE! Wow...fine motor skills.
