To make a very long story short, when I turned 47 years old I was greeted with the shock of a lifetime. I suffered from a massive stroke that most believed was unrecoverable. Everybody thought I was going to die. Today, I am still in the process of reconstructing my life and slowly learning to accept what my life is now and that what was will never be again. I feel a loss in my relationships and I realize that those losses are merely just changes. I am still Tara, and I still have as much if not more good things to offer this world. My life before the stroke was what some might describe as CandyLand. A Husband, beautiful children, and a successful career. The physical limitations that the stroke left me with are daily challenges that I could never have foreseen. I am always working toward improved vision, mobility, and pain management which is my lot, my struggle and seemingly constant companion. In my blog I am also happy to have referenced the bible on several occasions.
