So what's the difference between me, a thriving survivor and a person considered a victim? My difference is being someone who achieved a goal despite or because of circumstances.

After I returned to full health having achieved my goal I realized what I'd learned and the method I used to recover could help others set goals and achieve them. In speaking to many audiences and answering E Mails from people on line I had struck a chord. Comments coming back told me I'm making a difference.

So what can a survivor or caregiver do?

How can they improve their recovery?

What's the state of mind we need to get a positive outcome?

There are so many more questions I'll take on and answer with this website from, of course, a thrivers’ point of view.

Motivating Stroke Survivors and their Caregivers, both professional and loved ones is my overall goal.

Reading my book, "I had a Stroke, didn't like it so I got rid of it" is an important first step. It's a "Recovery 101" course based on my own recovery.

It's important to know if you're not satisfied with the current state of your recovery; my recovery can be your inspiration.

I went from not expected to live to getting my whole life back as a thriving survivor.

The book "I had a stroke, didn't like it so I got rid of it" reveals how I rewired my brain.

Got feeling back in the left side of my body.

I turned thoughts back into words that my mouth had forgotten how to do.

Relearned how to spell when I couldn't tell you what an "A" "B" or "C" looked like.

These are just a few of the challenges I overcame described in the book.

Most importantly how I went from depressed to the guy on the ward with the world’s greatest attitude.
