Paul and Jerry discuss Aphasia.

Aphasia is a disease that impacts a person’s ability to communicate normally, making it difficult for them to speak, write, and understand verbal and written language.

As the disease progresses, it can become frustrating to the affected person, as well as their family and friends. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and progression of aphasia can help everyone cope with the changes as they develop.

I am 37 and 12 years ago was in a car accident that left me with numerous broken bones and in ICU for 2+ months. I woke up from an induced coma to learn I suffered a stroke after the accident.

I had to learn to walk, talk, and swallow again. My left arm and hand were my major deficit. A few years after my accident I fell in love with exercise and wish I had had more opportunity to do therapy, or even to have had someone who could have helped me with mindset after.

I have an online personal training and coaching business for those that have suffered a stroke.

I have been on a mission for the last year and a half to educate myself and others on how we can further improve functional use of our weaker side. My goal is to help by providing the information and support I did not have. I want to help others avoid the regret I feel and help them work on their therapy to improve movement.

I worked in seismic oil and gas exploration since I was 17 years old and remained involved with that business up until the day of my stroke October first 2014, they tell me, I had no idea! I was in Midland, Texas on a business trip. Home was Houston, Texas. After not arriving back home that Wednesday, my wife became concerned. Apparently, after going to sleep in my hotel room, after dinner with clients, of which I remember very little, I had my stroke. At my wife’s (still in Houston) insistence, the hotel maintenance had to open my hotel door due to the latch, I was found snoring on the floor. Hotel staff thought I was just passed out drunk, but my wife made it clear to them that I had quit drinking entirely in 1995. They called paramedics, who found me unresponsive.

Once at the hospital, they found a massive bleed. ER doctor called my wife to tell her to get up to Midland ASAP. I was going in for emergency surgery and my situation was precarious!

Two and a half months there before begging to go home. I didn’t want anymore hospitals. I thought after 2 weeks of outpatient therapy for PT, OT and speech, I would be back to myself. Boy was I wrong. My life had changed forever.
