Aftermath Of A Stroke Poem by jerry hughes

This poem is very well penned and so beautiful. Great choice of words and a very unique writing style.

This is such a scary ordeal to go through. I have never had a stroke but I did have bells palsy. I know it was temporary but side of face was paralyzed. It was very hard to smile. Very well written.

You paint a very realistic picture here of the aftermath of a stroke....My Aunt suffered one and she was exactly as you describe it...

Explained it perfectly. My dad has been, three years, paralyzed on one side. I see the desire to do in his eyes.

caged within a boned frame, I WILL you better An active mind Must always remain. Kind thoughts..... Tina

short and not so sweet! i think i detect one small sort of flip-flop, to try quoting your bio section about spelling mistakes. the way you feel after the stroke (if it really is you in the poem) is like my marriage feels sometimes. i may say to my wife, while we are in bed, let's do it, and she says you know you can't. : ( bri thanks for sharing. i hope you are still alive to read this or i will have wasted the last four minutes (or more) of my life!

My brother had a stroke and they told him he would never drive again. He was driving in a couple of months once home from the hospital. If this is from personal experience, I hope you've had the same success that he has. He has a slight limp. He says he has slight speech impairment, but I don't hear it.

so much in so few words!

so much in so few words!

Honor to those who fight the good fight.
