In January of 2008, I was suffered a massive stroke. At the time one of the doctors said that I wouldn't walk or talk again. I lost quite a bit of function, I was completely paralyzed on the right hand side of my body. I couldn't talk, read or spell, and my vision wasn't quite right. I suffered many other set backs, but these were the biggest. Through diligent and hard work I managed to take steps to slowly getting better in all of these areas. In May I was released from the hospital while I still could not do very much, so I was open to all areas that could possibly improve my situation. In June, I was told about the UHBE center and decided to go and see if they could help me. After my first visit to the center, I was convinced i needed to go there as often as I could.
