Karen’s & Steve’s Story
My life changed at 5AM, May 20, 2011, when Karen had a stroke. People stopped talking to her, and I had a hard time understanding her at times. It is hard to see her struggle trying to talk. Karen is the same person now, I mean she just has to take more time to talk, and sometimes it doesn’t make much sense, but I can understand what she is trying to say. It is a work in progress for the rest of our lives.

Every wk I play cards with friend twice a week . I also go out to eat, also I go to the casino every so often.
