    • About Me

      I am 38 and had my stroke 6 1/2 yrs. ago.I had a stroke due to brain bleed caused from AVM. This was in Sept. 2002. I am doing very well. Little use of left arm/hand but deal pretty well. Fatigue is the worst part. I have been receiving disability since 2003 but went back to school and am trying to go back to work. My husband was diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis about 3 years ago so now we are dealing with his disease.
