Let me tell you why I started My Survived Stroke Blog.

I believe stroke survivors can never have too much information.

You may already belong to Facebook groups. You may follow other stroke blogs. You may have websites you visit regularly and people you turn to for advice.

That’s a good thing. Keep doing it.

But here’s what I have learned: sometimes the information you need isn’t in the places you’re already looking.

It might be one person’s story that makes you realize you’re not alone.

It might be an exercise you haven’t tried.

It might be a piece of equipment you didn’t know existed.

It might be an idea from another survivor that gives you a new way to approach your recovery.

Or it might simply be something that makes you say, “Why didn’t anybody tell me this before?”

That’s what I want My Survived Stroke Blog to be—a place where survivors, caregivers, family members, friends, and anyone interested in stroke can find information, experiences, ideas, and stories that might help.

But I don’t want this blog to be just about my experiences.

I want to hear about yours, too.

If you’re a stroke survivor, share your experiences on the blog. Tell us what you’ve learned, what has helped you, what hasn’t worked, the challenges you’ve faced, and the things you wish someone had told you earlier.

Your experience might be exactly what another survivor needs to hear.

And while you are sharing what you’ve learned, you may learn something from another survivor, too.

That’s what makes this community so valuable. We all have different experiences, different challenges, and different ways of dealing with recovery.

I’m not saying my blog has all the answers.

Nobody does.

What I am saying is that I want My Survived Stroke Blog to be a place where we can share what we know, learn from each other, and discover information that might help someone move forward.

So if you’re already following other stroke groups or blogs, don’t stop.

Just add My Survived Stroke Blog to the list.

And don’t just read it.

Share your story. Share what you’ve learned. Help another survivor—and let another survivor help you.

Because when you’re a stroke survivor, one more piece of information might be the piece that makes a difference.

We’re all trying to figure this thing out together.
