This is a wonderful story written by one of my close friends. I am so glad she is still here to share this story with us! Here is the intro to her story in her words:
May is National Stroke Awareness Month. This is my small contribution to the effort. I want people to know that stroke is the number one cause of disability and, along with heart attack, it is the number one cause of death. May my personal story serve as a call to action.
