Three Strokes Back

A lawyers mind and a news reporters way with words-none of it stopped Harry Gilberts brain from having a stroke. Actually he had three of them. This story chronicles his strokes recovery and (mostly) positive attitude. A stroke can happen to anyone anytime including to people in the prime of their lives. This revealing memoir tells the story of post-stroke: of the frustration of being unable to say the words you are thinking or to complete mundane tasks that were previously effortless like adding simple numbers writing telling time or driving a car-but also of hope and persistence. With gentle humor author Harry Gilbert helps us understand the path of recovery and provides encouragement that post-stroke life can return to normal-even if it is a new normal.
