Aphasia

[jensequitur]

I noticed that somebody had a question on here about aphasia.  I had written this article last week in response to the video that Gabrielle Giffords posted.  I think it's worth a read, for anybody that's interested in learning more about it.

That was a moving article.  Having dealt with that myself, I appreciate the way you handled it.

Thank you,

If you haven't seen her video, take a look - it's really heartwrenching, because you can hear her struggle to get the words out.  I'm rooting for her all the way - with an injury like that, she's doing amazingly well.

I'm playing catch-up here and found this buried on page 3.  This is great writing in your blog and I appreciate you sharing it here.  Gabrielle Giffords is a great example of heart and determination to overcome this challenge, but so are you.  I'm so glad you got your words back.
