My heart goes out to you. I know all to well that we are in this world to grow and learn. And sometimes the lessons feel more like punishment than than progress. Stay strong. We love you.

My stroke was July 10,2004. I had a major stroke which has left me more or less helpless on my left side. I can walk a little but my left hand wants no part of my life. .I feel stupid. I can’t understand what people are saying to me sometimes. I am so scared of life. It also lefyt me with epilepsy.I function very well in life and I thank my precious Lord for this as I love Him so very much.I live alone as my husband and daughter abandonded me two weeks after my stroke and I am oh so lonely. I have been alone now foe five years. Its terrible. I hate it. But I accept the Lords will. At least I am in my own home. Praise my Jesus.

I appreciate the honesty.

Seriously though are you paying attention to what you’re eating? Now I’m not a qualified doctor, but I changed my life and that of my fathers (cancer) by giving up all processed and cooked food. Only fresh and raw. Sounds insane but the results have been incredible. Do a google on David Wolfe who has been my mentor.

I believe you can really turn your health right around. Thanks for all the inspiration and abundance programmes.

Tom:
It strikes me how much your recovery journey is like the Olympics! Some days there are disappointments and no medals. Other days you”ve won the gold with your progress. But whatever the outcome you never give up or give in. My friend, you truly are an inspiration to me! I had no idea what was going on and I appreciate you sharing the process with us all. We all face challenges at one time or another that help us remember who and what is most important to us.

Love and hugs

Hi Tom! Like many others, I want to thank you also. You are an inspiration more than you think you know. I always like to read what you write. Your emails are AlWAYS the first ones that I read, actually sometimes the only ones I make time for. You have helped me more than you will ever know since 2003. I know that you will get through this time in your life. I am sending you and your family all my love and best wishes. Take care.

I really like reading your blog about your stroke because it’s so well written and so insightful. I’m glad you are able to convey your experience so truthfully. I’m really glad that you’ve recovered so well.

Dear Tom, I’m sorry to read this as I had sort of noticed events but been preoccupied with my own troubles. Now I hope someone who needs to know this will read it. For some time now just before I get up set or try to communicate with my live in mother in law, (we have a cultural language gap,) over things she seems to be very deliberate about doing wrong, I feel a sort of warning in my brain. Its sort of like a pulse. If I get angry it seems to leave a trace and feeling that my brain will shut off in a stroke if I continue. I have to really keep a love and compassion feeling when she is acting senile after seeming to be on the ball. As well if I get upset I have to immediately send myself forgiveness and support feelings of love. And also send them to her. And the next time we meet I have to put extra effort in to caring for her. In all areas it is paying off. She seems to use mind over matter as an old samurai WWII lady. (90 years in 3 months) She does minimal exercise but seems to choose only silly TV thus laughs a lot, if it gets cruel or murderous, she changes channels or closes her eyes and curls up like a bird. While sports events are going on she seems to feel like she is right there. She seldom walks or does any thing around the house which could raise her heart beat, but suddenly she can walk for some hours. I’m beginning to think she uses a lot of mental training. so it is important what we let in our minds and hearts.

I wish you so much healing of your stroke. I can easily imagine the trouble and pain it causes you. Blessings and healing.
