Person with Aphasia

This is a Finding Words story!

In Mexico, I was a salesman and used language a lot. When I had my stroke, I lost the ability to express myself. I had a lot of ideas in my head but I couldn’t find the words. It was very frustrating. The right side of my body was paralyzed and I couldn’t do my job. Luckily, my wife was there to help me. My family and friends supported me also. I am a warrior. I never lost my enthusiasm and worked hard to get my words back. I now look at life differently with new hopes and expectations.

  3. Genaro I love your attitude 100 % enthusiastic, and I agree you are a real warrior!! 😉

  4. When my nephew, Genaro, lost his ability to speak, he was still able to say one word….bueno (good). So when I asked how he was, the answer was “good”. When I asked how he was progressing, his answer was “good”. This may not seeem like a big deal but it shows positivity. Instead of things looking gloomy, or hopeless, or tragic, they were good. This is the foundation of his recovery. He will be good again, of that I have no doubt. He is our warrior…..I am so proud of this battle he will win in the end.
