This week, Cheryl and I talk about her changes in personality and her outrageous reasoning for such a drastic change. She also thinks she’s whining but you be the judge. We cover her progress on the stairs as well as chatting about her desire to… well… chat!
Feel free to share the show and we will be back next week with another check-up!
Enjoy…
After suffering from a subarachnoid hemorrhage and a severe stroke a week later, Cheryl began her jouney to rehabilitation. Now over a year and a half later, she sits down every week with her co-host and caregiver, Manny, to have a frank discussion about her struggles, her successes and what she wants her new life, post-stroke, to be.

“This took a Morbid Turn”
I like the mental judo-flip Manny did in pointing out to Cheryl that had she really had a lobotomy (not a simple fluid drain) then she wouldn’t have the personality to be carrying on like this!
Well, I guess everyone (especially those who have been though as much as Cheryl has) is entitled to be a bit downbeat at times. (And I can understand her wanting to have more social time with her former online videogame budddies.)
But there is so much good news, from doing the first 18 steps in 40 seconds to maintaining her weight to wanting to go on walks more to going to the pool to how many obscure details of movies she can remember!
And that is great news about Ally’s art show! Cheryl is right to be proud of her (and happy that she can go!). I’m going to listen to the next chapter right away to find out more about it.
“Peace out. Don’t drink”.
Well said.
P.S. Sorry for the delay in listening to the latest two chapters. Been a couple of extra busy weeks for me.
