In June 2020, I had a stroke. 

I found during the hospital stay that I had aphasia. Aphasia is a condition that limits my ability to speak and to read or write. I am lucky to be alive, but it isn’t easy.

I have trouble finding the words to come up with the language. Sometimes I have almost got it, but not just right. Sometimes if I say the “alphagaties” (no such word!!!) it tells me to find “alligator”.

As an executive in Human Resources, I talked a lot. After Aphasia I don’t talk much.

I will learn to restart the language for me.

I look forward to hearing from you.
