Stroke of Faith

This Christ-centered blog is designed to serve stroke survivors, families and friends, through sharing experience and faith. My own stroke came on May 8, 1998. God provided medical professionals, friends, fellow believers, and strength to get me through some struggling recovery times.

May is Stroke Awareness Month

As Stroke Awareness Month begins, a recap of several stroke awareness postings on this blog from the past year:

* Time is critical - for all concerned

* Strokes hit young people in rising numbers

* Drug isn't always used to battle a stroke

* Needs for awareness, prevention are clear
