A warm welcome to you, tracycelest. If you are a WS, and we are sorry for the circumstances that qualify anyone for this role, you have come to the very best place you can be.

There are a number of WSes on this Forum whose IS is a stroke victim, they will certainly reach out. All of us, however, understand in ways that no "normal" person can.

I am happy you have found us and look forward to knowing you better on the Forum.

A welcome hug,
Claudia

Tracycelest, welcome! You will find support, understanding and empathy here. And some giggles from time to time. My first few days on the forum were spent reading through posts. I learned that I was no longer alone. Now you have us.
