On July 14, 2011 we celebrated my husband’s 10-year post-stroke milestone. That seemed a seemingly impossible feat back in 2001 when specialists warned that with his massive stroke and paralysis he would probably wind up with a feeding tube and placement in a nearby nursing home.

Herb is the first and best person to refute that hopeless forecast. At a recent party, appropriately titled " TO LIFE!," former and current speech and physical therapists, and caregivers gathered to help him commemorate the occasion.

Click on the video below to see Herb tell you about his battle to reclaim quality of life and reactivate much appreciated friendships.

We hope Herb’s progress offers positive motivation for other survivors of stroke, especially those just beginning the battle. And, if it does, please let us know by following a link on this home page and adding your comments in our guest book. Maintaining this website is a lonely business and we’d love to know who is visiting.

Good Luck!
