Thank you. You are such an inspiration. My wife survived a stroke Sept 22. I am determined to help her get some of her life back. God spared her only because her work is not finished here.
Thank you Linda for this talk. The reality of brain injuries is that most people only partially recover. I have the greatest admiration for those people who are paralyzed, have foot drop, speech aphasia, and whole host of other muscle and brain related side effects - but they continue to live their life to the fullest. You see them out and about shopping for their family, helping their children, or walking down the street. Even though they may not have the use of one of their arms, or can't walk without a cane or a limp, or can't speak without "thinking" about how to say every single word. They work three times as hard just to read a note, get dressed in the morning, or try to tell Alexa to add something to their shopping list. I live with one of these people and the only truth I can tell anyone who has had a brain injury is that you can live a meaningful life whether or not you fully "recover", partially recover, or don't recover at all. Your worth as a human being is not in your physical abilities but in your heart as a Mother or Father, Husband or Wife, Brother or Sister, or friend. Do the best you can to live the best life possible under the circumstances and you will be an inspiration for others every day of your life.
I lost my wife 3 years ago, she passed 2 weeks after the stoke... you are a very strong woman and I can see my strength in you...don't you ever give up. ❤❤❤
I had severe infract stroke in Oct 2021 I am 37 now. I was unable to move left body, couldn’t speak. But watching Linda speech, I memorised my post stroke workout journey. I am able to walk better now and move left hand very well like Linda but still left Hand motor function is still in process. For those who had stroke, do not loose hopes!!
9 .months since my stroke Couldn't talk, Couldn't walk. Great physiotherapy helped immensely. Thank you to Fiona Stanley physiotherapy team Full of fear and depression. Suicidal thoughts. Had to leave my job. Long times of loneliness. Thinking it was all over for me. This beautiful woman has given me hope. Thank you so much.
I’m a stroke survivor I’m almost 3 years post stroke and I’m thankful for not giving up and working hard to learn how to walk and talk again. I’m not 100% but I accept I can still live a life and still work. You’re definitely an inspiration and show that there’s life still in us after a stroke. God Bless You!
I am a 7 year post-stroke survior. I am thankful to be alive, after having a massive stroke,I am still not able to use my left arm, still walking with a 4 prone cane. Sometimes I walk without it but not long distance.
That's how my sister is after suffering a massive stroke April 2023. She gets around pretty good at home without her cane. But still relies pretty heavily on it. May I ask how the initial recovery went for you? I mean as in, did you actively participate in the recovery? Because my sister, she didn't put in much into therapy, cancelled appointments often, doesn't take her meds properly. It was like she just didn't care. I talked to her so much about neuroplasticity and so many things to encourage her and it was like it went one ear and out the other. And I don't understand that. I want to understand.
Hi Linda Thank you so much for your inspiring talk. I had a stroke myself 10 month ago. And right from the beginningI felt I was on a voyage to recover and understand myself better. I surely feel that I am one of the 3 % thinking out of the box, testing a lot of possibilities, where maybe 95 % turned to be errors.I honor the last 5 %. For the moment I have started to play golf again, with a help from a Monobuggy, but still I have to make the shots and the walking around the greens myself. And I have trained my right hand by playing piano again. Now I use Nordic walking sticks when I am walking, but I am hoping to find a good way to leave the sticks, so I can continue to enjoy walking in the forest again. Once again thanks for your words and your nobel example.
Thank you for your wisdom. I have had a stroke 2 months ago, then heart surgery to fix the cause of the stroke. I am almost out of hospital and ready for rehabilitation. You give me hope. Thank you and God bless you
I've had 7 strokes and you are inspiring to me, so thoughtful and understanding.... people in world need people like you !!!! Keep aming for the stars, stoke supporters deserve everything !!!
Jimlloyd3801 7 strokes?? Oh my God!! I went through four at the same time when I was only seventeen years old, two years have already passed and I am very well within what is possible, thinking positively and always thinking that life is a special occasion, because there is only one life. A big kiss and a strong hug, warrior ❤
Linda walks the talk, everything she shares in her talk, I have seen her apply in daily live for the last 3 years. I also want to point out that delivering a TEDx talk is way out of her comfort zone. A: she really is an introvert. B: She is a recovering aphasic, C: She really dislikes speaking in public and never gave a talk or speech before after her stroke. People become skeptical and intimidated when she speaks the truth, they cannot believe the truth of what she did to recover. It even took over a thousand references to convince the “TEDx high command commity” to see that she isn’t just saying something, or sharing fake news. It just shows that they do not have a clue what she stands for ( she did for example not want her book “Stroke Rebel” to be published before everything she said in there was referenced) I can honestly say that I have not learned more from anyone then from her. Someone that walks the talk and thinks out of the box, unlike most of us. Please watch and share her message. I hope it will change your life like it has mine!
Thankyou so much for this you are an inspiration. I am 22 mths post stroke and this is some of the best information I have seen. Stroke is so badly treated and I have had no help except for your information and several websites. Keep up the good work.
I had my stroke 5 years ago.. I have the same thing.. my right side and my speech.. I was going to give up, but because of you I will keep going .. thank you!!.. thank you!!
What a lovely human being you are. I had a stroke in December 2021. Came out of Hospital in March. Been home since March 2022. My Life was also not very happy, spent to much time on wasteful activities and relationships. My stroke has taught me about friendship and it's true value. I also understand more about my self. Trying to make sure those old patterns don't resonate anymore. Thank you so much.
What a beautiful, strong and inspirational woman you are. I am 8 months post stroke and I am still fighting to regain the use of my left arm. I can walk unaided and I also aim to run again. Very well done and I wish you the ver best of luck with the rest of your adventure 😍 Jason
I am 3 months out from my stroke. It has totally upended my life. I am a cyclist (was?) at 70.I plan to ride again by summer, that is the goal. This is one beautiful TED Talk and I have seen many. What a magnificent woman, a great inspiration. She has given me more tools to help get me back on my bicycle soon.
You’re a positive message to stroke sufferers. I’ve been there too. Lost my left upper / lower limbs.I awoke with the thought, “ I’m not having this!. This will not be my future. I too had such a good life, I was determined to regain as much as possible. The hardest was being a professional musician, multi instrumentalist, composer, film maker. This was too much to give up, I’m working on one of those instruments, the others will follow. The left hand and arm are the biggest challenge but.hey, I can walk, I’m working towards driving again. It’s been a journey, after a year it’s difficult to maintain motivity but like yourself, I have determination. Good luck, you’re doing great!
A heart-felt thank you for sharing your path to recovery. I learned the hard way to become my own greatest advocate rather than relying on a profit-based healthcare industry. Following your own instincts may pay off ten -fold, instead of mindlessly taking countless meds every day. Bravo!
She made impossible possible. Her aspirations will be appreciated forever. This could not be easy when we are listening some like this we shall assume that It's too tough. We salute your aspirations, determination, as well as self-reliant.
Linda is an inspiration for me I to had the doctors tell me that I may not walk again but after 1yr and 5 mos I can walk, drive and even work again. I'm 90% back but I'm working on it
I've been diagnosed with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and lost functions. You are such an inspiration. You prove that nothing is stronger than the human spirit :)
13:27 my husband is 11 months, post stroke, and was declared a loss if you will. Because of the severity of the stroke, it had almost completely incapacitated his pons. He spent 115 days in the hospital back-and-forth from ICU to Neurology. He could not speak, breath on his own, walk or move his upper body. We were told he would have locked in syndrome at best and we should just make him comfortable at an assisted living facility. But now 11 months later, he is walking with a walker and sometimes with the cane, he is speaking (he graduated from the speech therapy). His speech therapy was preaching and that was the most successful for him. He does Physical and Occupational Therapy on his own 5X a week and went from 3-2-1 as an outpatient. His left side is still weak, but it carries its portion of the body. As his wife and biggest cheerleader 📣 Do not believe what the doctors say. Their diagnosis and prognosis is based on their studies, and their experience. Faith is thinking outside the box! Thank you for your beautiful testimony and story, and I pray that you others will share your beautiful testimony and story along the way. 🙏🏽
I'm 10 years out from my stroke and like you, I'm a hemiplegic. You have inspired me beyond description. With renewed vigor, I intend to move forward in a more "outside the box" way. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I'm wishing you continued success with your recovery and with all things. I will always remember your words of encouragement.
Beautiful encouraging words. Maybe you can add prayers too with your self healing. There are so many proven miracles in the past and today that happens that you may not be aware about and science cant explain.
I have nothing but admiration for your determination and the positive atitude towards your stroke. Our brain is definitely very special and complex that not even scientist has explored fully on our brain yet . The fact that you are able to read , comprehend , and talk is a commendable feat by itself
Excellent talk Linda, you may recall I had a stroke around the same we time as you. Like you I refused to give up. Understanding that neuroplasticity was key, and that only I could ultimately change and repattern my brain. Neuroplasticity never stops, how we harness its power for good or bad is our responsibility. You are a beacon of hope, and show what is possible. Kind regards Kathy
Wow! I have had the same stroke as you Linda (a year ago). They told me I could not recover my right side and never would speak again. I am walking again (with an EVO, but trying to get rid of it 🤭) and my Dutch is excellent (and I am relearning speaking English too). Thanks for sharing what you do and further inspiring me 😇💁♂️!
Thank you so much Linda. I experienced a brian Injury about 6.5 years ago and our stories are very similar. You have to think outside the box and challenge yourself or you will never get better. So happy to see that you and rewiring your brain. God bless.
Linda , way to get after it.I would love to consult with you about my recovery from stroke. I am 6 years from the Stroke, still working hard. Out of the Box is where all gains were made. The rewards came from the struggle, STAY STRONG. Jim
What an ispiring video and what a brave beautiful lady! May all the best come to you and others like you. My close one had a stroke and I dedicated all my effort to helping people, not the 3d games I did before. I always thought out of the box, I know Body anatomy, Head anatomy, I did Special Effects before and I know I just have to put all my knowledge to help others. Thank you!
I'm so glad I found you on instagram. It led me to your book and the brain rehab channel. I've been doing all these methods following my own stroke and it has helped me so much. My own community failed me and offered literally nothing but sports injury therapy. I never received any help with my arm or hand. I'm so appreciative of the information put out by your book and the master classes. Thank you, thank you🤗🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😄 This was a fabulous talk!
First I must give all Praise and Glory to Yahshua in me: I refuse to take all the different pharmaceutical prescriptions. I was blessed to come home 3 weeks after my TIA Stroke. I, was given the faith, hope, and the courage to listen to His voice and claim my Healthy Post-Stroke recovery... I'm continuing to grow in Spirit and Physical healing and well-being... The Grace I've been in healing has in Elohim's Foundation,Power, and Strength... HalleluYah!!! 😇🕊🕊
Dear Linda, you are a baken of hope, for me and many others. Thank you for sharing your journey. Let this talk go viral and be the signal of hope for many others too! Brave strokerebel, I am so proud of you!
Very positive vibration just listening to you, god bless you. Truely inspirational. Keep sharing your positivity, stroke survivors do need more such videos.
Thank you for your determination and willingness to share your story! Congratulations on your progress and your recovery. I had a stroke last year myself and my mindset was the most important thing in addition to the support around me. It’s amazing what the brain can do when we keep determination and focus.
Thank you Linda for your sharing your journey 🙏 you are an incredibly strong, inspiring & beautiful person. My older brother just had his 3rd stroke and this time he is unable to speak.. but I do believe he can recover if he is willing to put the work in. I'm saving your video for him to watch & be inspired! Thank you Linda. Big hugs
You are an incredible woman Linda. Gorgeous inside and out. A true inspiration for all of us to learn from. Thank You for all that you are doing to help others.
Beautiful 💐 inside and out. I was just released from the hospital ❣️😒blood pressure was over 200+ blocked arteries in the heart walking around like that shame in me but I'm going to keep fighting like you..🙏
...Wonderful testimony, courage, and determination! I sent this to a dear friend who recently had a stroke as I too live out-of-the-box with regard to maintaining my health. Love. ❤️ Kevy Michaels
She's come a long way. That's always a good sign. I've been seeing a lot of videos about stroke survivors and one possible treatment caught my eye. There is a doctor in Florida that infects an anti inflammatory medicine into the spines of people, because most stroke survivors are actually still suffering from an inflammation in the brain. It's quite fascinating. Just look up "perispinal etanercept". Around 80% of their patients have a good and immediate improvement. I hope that this can help more people in the future and more specialists offer this treatment.
linda, you are my hero, my role model. after i read your book "STROKE REBEL" i have tried to be like you. and i was, i really was like you. i worked very hard on my therapies, but 9 years after my stroke, i fell and fractured my left femur. that set me back to zero and had to start all over. 8 years after that, i still can't reach the level of improvement i had before my fracture.. now i need emotional/psychological help in order to continue this arduous labor of getting back to some kind of normalcy. thank you linda!
God bless you I’m not gonna give up God is still with me just like he was with you his a wonderful God Linda Thank you so much for your speech It has motivate me
Thank you so much. I was only trying to accommodate myself inside the box that i never thought that there might be something outside of it..... Thank you so much for this insight...❤
Linda, your story is amazing!! The willpower and strength is unseen. What I admire most is your mission to educate other stroke victims and to encourage every one. There is no giving up only to better oneself. Thank you for your help!! You are such an amazing woman. I am so happy that you are 😃
Fantastic!, you have made wonderful progress and I am sure that you continued to make more progress after you made this video. I had a similar stroke 5 years ago. Not a day has gone by without me trying to think outside of the box. You have just made my day and have inspired me to never stop thinking outside the box.
Linda, you are so awesome! Thank you for sharing your experience. These are really incredible things that we can do from outside the box. Bless you and all the best!
Thank you. You are such an inspiration. My wife survived a stroke Sept 22. I am determined to help her get some of her life back. God spared her only because her work is not finished here.
How is recovery going?
How is she doing?.. i survived a stroke back in june and well i would like to help even if it seems like the smallest thing
I had a stroke 2 years ago and still recovering ( husband who types for me )
Thank you Linda for this talk. The reality of brain injuries is that most people only partially recover. I have the greatest admiration for those people who are paralyzed, have foot drop, speech aphasia, and whole host of other muscle and brain related side effects - but they continue to live their life to the fullest. You see them out and about shopping for their family, helping their children, or walking down the street. Even though they may not have the use of one of their arms, or can't walk without a cane or a limp, or can't speak without "thinking" about how to say every single word. They work three times as hard just to read a note, get dressed in the morning, or try to tell Alexa to add something to their shopping list. I live with one of these people and the only truth I can tell anyone who has had a brain injury is that you can live a meaningful life whether or not you fully "recover", partially recover, or don't recover at all. Your worth as a human being is not in your physical abilities but in your heart as a Mother or Father, Husband or Wife, Brother or Sister, or friend. Do the best you can to live the best life possible under the circumstances and you will be an inspiration for others every day of your life.
My doctors told my family to get ready for my funeral after my stroke surgery, but here I am!
I lost my wife 3 years ago, she passed 2 weeks after the stoke... you are a very strong woman and I can see my strength in you...don't you ever give up. ❤❤❤
My doctor said that a good doctor never predicts outcome of a stroke. If he does, change the doc
I mean.. she's the proof. If she can heal herself up to this point, imagine what you could do with your perfectly healthy body.
I have been there also. Stroke, both feet "dead" Also worked hard to walk again. Many falls. But now I am ok.
Hugs
I'm currently learning to walk after my stroke at 31. Your an inspiration, thankyou x
Full recovery?
I had severe infract stroke in Oct 2021 I am 37 now. I was unable to move left body, couldn’t speak. But watching Linda speech, I memorised my post stroke workout journey. I am able to walk better now and move left hand very well like Linda but still left Hand motor function is still in process.
For those who had stroke, do not loose hopes!!
9 .months since my stroke
Couldn't talk, Couldn't walk. Great physiotherapy helped immensely. Thank you to Fiona Stanley physiotherapy team
Full of fear and depression.
Suicidal thoughts. Had to leave my job. Long times of loneliness.
Thinking it was all over for me.
This beautiful woman has given me hope.
Thank you so much.
God bless you
How are you doing now? Hopefully everything is positive!
I’m a stroke survivor I’m almost 3 years post stroke and I’m thankful for not giving up and working hard to learn how to walk and talk again. I’m not 100% but I accept I can still live a life and still work. You’re definitely an inspiration and show that there’s life still in us after a stroke. God Bless You!
God Bless you.
I had a stroke at 32 and thought I would never recover. Thank you so much for inspiring me.
GOD BLESS YOU I HAVE ALL THE effects you have, I am 1.5 years after my stroke, I am BACK TO WORK AND WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!! THANKS FOR YOUR INSPIRATION
I am a 7 year post-stroke survior. I am thankful to be alive, after having a massive stroke,I am still not able to use my left arm, still walking with a 4 prone cane. Sometimes I walk without it but not long distance.
That's how my sister is after suffering a massive stroke April 2023. She gets around pretty good at home without her cane. But still relies pretty heavily on it.
May I ask how the initial recovery went for you? I mean as in, did you actively participate in the recovery? Because my sister, she didn't put in much into therapy, cancelled appointments often, doesn't take her meds properly. It was like she just didn't care. I talked to her so much about neuroplasticity and so many things to encourage her and it was like it went one ear and out the other. And I don't understand that. I want to understand.
Stroke runs in my family. And it happened to me 3 months ago. Watching and listening to you makes me happy for you so much. Good luck for you and me .
i didn’t speak for 5 days singing in my head helped me to speak the more you speak the better you get doctors know nothing
Hi Linda Thank you so much for your inspiring talk. I had a stroke myself 10 month ago. And right from the beginningI felt I was on a voyage to recover and understand myself better. I surely feel that I am one of the 3 % thinking out of the box, testing a lot of possibilities, where maybe 95 % turned to be errors.I honor the last 5 %. For the moment I have started to play golf again, with a help from a Monobuggy, but still I have to make the shots and the walking around the greens myself. And I have trained my right hand by playing piano again. Now I use Nordic walking sticks when I am walking, but I am hoping to find a good way to leave the sticks, so I can continue to enjoy walking in the forest again. Once again thanks for your words and your nobel example.
Thank you for your wisdom. I have had a stroke 2 months ago, then heart surgery to fix the cause of the stroke. I am almost out of hospital and ready for rehabilitation. You give me hope. Thank you and God bless you
how was your recovery? how old were you?
I had a stroke at 30. You’re inspirational!
How are you doing now?
I've had 7 strokes and you are inspiring to me, so thoughtful and understanding.... people in world need people like you !!!! Keep aming for the stars, stoke supporters deserve everything !!!
Linda can't see this comment when it's here in someone else's comment, but I'll try and make sure it gets out and she receives it
Jimlloyd3801 7 strokes?? Oh my God!! I went through four at the same time when I was only seventeen years old, two years have already passed and I am very well within what is possible, thinking positively and always thinking that life is a special occasion, because there is only one life.

7 strokes had my 3rd caused by afib. Hope you are doing OK. So glad😮 to hear Linda talk. Hope she is doing well as well.

Never give up.
excellent presentation. I am 3 and 1/2 years from my stroke... it is a hard road, but I have recovered. So nice to see and hear Linda Radestad.
What a lovely human being you are. I had a stroke in December 2021. Came out of Hospital in March. Been home since March 2022.

What a beautiful, strong and inspirational woman you are. I am 8 months post stroke and I am still fighting to regain the use of my left arm. I can walk unaided and I also aim to run again. Very well done and I wish you the ver best of luck with the rest of your adventure 😍 Jason
I am nine months since my stroke, you too give me hope, I thank you.
I am 3 months out from my stroke. It has totally upended my life. I am a cyclist (was?) at 70.I plan to ride again by summer, that is the goal. This is one beautiful TED Talk and I have seen many. What a magnificent woman, a great inspiration. She has given me more tools to help get me back on my bicycle soon.
You are a blessed woman Linda I had a stroke in 3021 I will not give up Thank you and I Thank the lord for your video God Bless you
Good luck, Rina! There is nothing impossible for our bodies. I believe in you!
You nailed it!! Superficial lives are just that. You are a true inspiration! You are now living your life's purpose ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’re a positive message to stroke sufferers. I’ve been there too. Lost my left upper / lower limbs.I awoke with the thought, “ I’m not having this!. This will not be my future.
I too had such a good life, I was determined to regain as much as possible. The hardest was being a professional musician, multi instrumentalist, composer, film maker. This was too much to give up, I’m working on one of those instruments, the others will follow. The left hand and arm are the biggest challenge but.hey, I can walk, I’m working towards driving again.
It’s been a journey, after a year it’s difficult to maintain motivity but like yourself, I have determination. Good luck, you’re doing great!
I as well had to leave a profession. Same here the hand arm thing is the hardest to recover.
God Bless you!
What a truly inspirational woman
Sometimes a stroke is a warning sign to tell you that you have to take care of your own health more seriously.
A heart-felt thank you for sharing your path to recovery. I learned the hard way to become my own greatest advocate rather than relying on a profit-based healthcare industry. Following your own instincts may pay off ten -fold, instead of mindlessly taking countless meds every day. Bravo!
She made impossible possible. Her aspirations will be appreciated forever. This could not be easy when we are listening some like this we shall assume that It's too tough. We salute your aspirations, determination, as well as self-reliant.
Nice name 😁
@@iannapier9107 Thanks Sir.
My English is not too good. I just expressed myself as I can.
Linda is an inspiration for me I to had the doctors tell me that I may not walk again but after 1yr and 5 mos I can walk, drive and even work again. I'm 90% back but I'm working on it

Wow! I have had the same stroke as you Linda (a year ago). They told me I could not recover my right side and never would speak again. I am walking again (with an EVO, but trying to get rid of it 🤭) and my Dutch is excellent (and I am relearning speaking English too). Thanks for sharing what you do and further inspiring me 😇💁♂️!

First I must give all Praise and Glory to Yahshua in me: I refuse to take all the different pharmaceutical prescriptions. I was blessed to come home 3 weeks after my TIA Stroke.
I, was given the faith, hope, and the courage to listen to His voice and claim my Healthy Post-Stroke recovery...
I'm continuing to grow in Spirit and Physical healing and well-being...
The Grace I've been in healing has in Elohim's Foundation,Power, and Strength...
HalleluYah!!!

Strong lady Bless you
Dear Linda, you are a baken of hope, for me and many others. Thank you for sharing your journey. Let this talk go viral and be the signal of hope for many others too! Brave strokerebel, I am so proud of you!
Very positive vibration just listening to you, god bless you. Truely inspirational. Keep sharing your positivity, stroke survivors do need more such videos.
Thank you for your determination and willingness to share your story! Congratulations on your progress and your recovery. I had a stroke last year myself and my mindset was the most important thing in addition to the support around me. It’s amazing what the brain can do when we keep determination and focus.
God bless this woman, she is a true inspiration.
I am so moved right now 🙏❤
I wish for you blessed healing, peace, love and joy in Yahshua..
💙💜❤
You are an inspiration to everyone ❤❤ Proud of you
Thank you Linda for your sharing your journey 🙏 you are an incredibly strong, inspiring & beautiful person. My older brother just had his 3rd stroke and this time he is unable to speak.. but I do believe he can recover if he is willing to put the work in. I'm saving your video for him to watch & be inspired! Thank you Linda. Big hugs
You are an incredible woman Linda. Gorgeous inside and out. A true inspiration for all of us to learn from. Thank You for all that you are doing to help others.
This has given me so much hope following my wife’s stroke ❤
Fantastic talk. She's right.
Beautiful 💐 inside and out. I was just released from the hospital ❣️😒blood pressure was over 200+ blocked arteries in the heart walking around like that shame in me but I'm going to keep fighting like you..🙏
What an incredible powerful inspirational lady thank you
...Wonderful testimony, courage, and determination! I sent this to a dear friend who recently had a stroke as I too live out-of-the-box with regard to maintaining my health. Love. ❤️ Kevy Michaels
She's come a long way. That's always a good sign.
I've been seeing a lot of videos about stroke survivors and one possible treatment caught my eye. There is a doctor in Florida that infects an anti inflammatory medicine into the spines of people, because most stroke survivors are actually still suffering from an inflammation in the brain. It's quite fascinating. Just look up "perispinal etanercept". Around 80% of their patients have a good and immediate improvement. I hope that this can help more people in the future and more specialists offer this treatment.
What you have done for me, is a real inspiration. To say "The doctors is right", once you accept they are wrong, you begin to have you life 😉
I love you ❤ What a warrior ❤
Very empowering, thank you!
Wow, I had a stroke at 32. I feel like I had a very similar experience. God bless. Keep going!
Such a brave talk, you are a real inspiration. I am a stroke survivor too.
You are so clever and strong! 🙏 Thank you
Thanks, Linda, for sharing your inspiring story. God is so good.
Inspiring talk! I also read your book Stroke Rebel.
Such an inspiration!!!❤️❤️❤️
linda, you are my hero, my role model. after i read your book "STROKE REBEL" i have tried to be like you. and i was, i really was like you. i worked very hard on my therapies, but 9 years after my stroke, i fell and fractured my left femur. that set me back to zero and had to start all over. 8 years after that, i still can't reach the level of improvement i had before my fracture.. now i need emotional/psychological help in order to continue this arduous labor of getting back to some kind of normalcy. thank you linda!
God bless you I’m not gonna give up God is still with me just like he was with you his a wonderful God Linda Thank you so much for your speech It has motivate me
Thank you so much. I was only trying to accommodate myself inside the box that i never thought that there might be something outside of it..... Thank you so much for this insight...❤

Linda, your story is amazing!! The willpower and strength is unseen. What I admire most is your mission to educate other stroke victims and to encourage every one. There is no giving up only to better oneself.
Thank you for your help!! You are such an amazing woman. I am so happy that you are 😃
She is simply sublime.

Fantastic!, you have made wonderful progress and I am sure that you continued to make more progress after you made this video. I had a similar stroke 5 years ago. Not a day has gone by without me trying to think outside of the box. You have just made my day and have inspired me to never stop thinking outside the box.
