Hello I am new to this forum. My name is Sarah and I am 26years old. I had an Ischemic stroke on the 22nd of July 2009, mostly affecting my Vision. I don't know where to begin my healing process and thats why I am here. I am thousands of miles away from anything that is familar to me. I currently live in Germany and have only been here since Feb. I speak very little German, and it is frustrating trying to express my wants and needs to the Doctors. The language barrier is a little stressful.

I am married but am finding myself pushing him away and becomeing very withdrawn. I usually don't feel sorry for myself and am a happy person in general. I am finding myself getting irritated at every litttle thing. And I feel all alone.

So where does one begin? I know this is the first step. Thank You to all whom reply...


Good day to all.

Sarah
