Our blog is catching up with our podcast! We cover a lot of ground in Episode 2. Somehow we start out talking about the definition of aphasia and end up talking about:
- apraxia and scripts
- Wilson (Pat's service dog)
- Married life
- How well-meaning friends & family can make survivors feel smothered
- Having hard conversations
Wilson
You'll have to listen if you want to hear the group discussion on all of these topics. We thought we should share some links just in case you wanted more "official" information and not just our opinion.
Check out the National Aphasia Association:
Information on apraxia of speech after a stroke:
Our whole group wanted to send out a major THANK YOU to all of their friends and family who are on the Slow Road To Better with them. Randy, Pat, Chris, Jerry, Joyce and Ashley all acknowledge they would not be where they are today in their recovery without the help of others. As the survivor struggles to regain confidence and independence, loved ones struggle with letting go and all the "what-ifs". This podcast group encourages all survivors to have those hard conversations. Maybe you can use this episode as a way to start that discussion?
Thanks for joining us on the Slow Road To Better! Let's Listen in......
