It is time! lol...

So...I went to University of Washington.  Dr. Kendall is really nice...she did help me.  Remember Megan (UW project)?  Dr Kendall "the boss" to Megan.  

Anyway...I went to UW because she (Dr. Kendall) want me to class...because I have aphasia.  So, there 2 aphasia also (so, me, Dixie and Matt).  It was "Speech Therapist 1" (a lot people).  People don't know there a lot stroke...not the same.  It was toooo nervous!  Because...people they think a stroke is for "old."  You know...Grandma and Grandpa.

Nope.  I am 31...my stroke was 29.  I'm young.  Is like...woah.  Yup (Dixie is "Grandma," but Matt is young also).

So...we talked.  They have questions...like, "what happened?" and "can you more (talk, writing, read, etc.)?"  It was good...really  I said, "I'm not weird!  My brain is good (well, kinda lol)...I'm not psycho!" LOL.  People is nice...class was sooo nice.  Seattle...people is nice!

Now, I don't care.  That's good!!  Before, I want...like, "Shhhhh!!  No stroke...mmm...no no no!"  Now but now...I say, "Sorry, I can't talk because I'm have a stroke...help you me (groceries, store, etc)?"  I'm not afraid.  2 years...gone.  Phew!  ;)

Thank you Dr. Kendall...you and your class students card is nice (also, starbucks card was good lol)!
