On first meeting, she pointed to a magazine at her bedside, trying to tell me she was unable to read it.
A past time that had always brought her joy was suddenly, what felt like, an impossible task.
14 months after her stroke, she kindly agreed to an impromptu conversation about her recovery journey.
She had not been given the questions beforehand, this was completely off the cuff.
What once felt terrifying and impossibly difficult, she now approached with confidence and clarity. In this video, she shares her reflections on her recovery, showing the progress that steady, hard work in therapy can bring.
In this recent recording, she chose a children’s book she has ready to read to her new grandson! No rehearsing, she dove in straight away and gave it her all.
This moment represents not just progress in therapy, but the return of something deeply meaningful, reading aloud to connect, teach, and share joy.
