Walking is Winning: An update in a Stroke Survivor’s Recovery

Playtime podcast, you will recall several episodes dedicated to updates following my stroke, a year ago in May.

I knew enough about strokes to understand the challenges in diverting and retraining the right side of my body. I also knew the immensity of the challenge I faced, not knowing those first days if I would walk or drive a car again. Even more, I had been an artist my whole life, I did not know if I would ever pick up a paintbrush or pencil ever again. I was confronted by the deepest depression, but realizing the definition of depression is the inability to see opportunities I was determined to seek out solutions.

The road to discovery, both within and without, and to healing starts with a single step. That first step, I know, may be monumental but will pay dividends in the end.

Walking is indeed winning.
