I am a new member stroke -3/26/24! I’m one of the lucky ones? Speech and communication are a problem for me, no other physical problems. As a teacher of twenty-seven years, and a word wizard, the stroke this my world up over, a twenty-five year career in the US Marine Corps not helping my ability communication with high school students!

Hi & welcome to the community @CoachB
Stroke is definitely a life changing event & takes some time to come to terms with.
Kerp practising with the speech & communication side of things. They should start to improve. It really is about repetition…keep trying to talk out loud even if it feels like you’re getting nowhere it is still teaching the brain to learn it again.
All the best

Hi Coach,
Welcome. I stroked 2 years ago, but I still teach a few students just to keep me grounded & feeling useful. I’m a violin teacher. Hopefully you’ll improve as you go,
Nice to meet you, ciao, Roland
