I had covid got sick 3 strokes back-to-back 2.5 years ago and I have expressive aphasia. still no progress. Friends fade away, a major change to my life. I'm trying to keep positive building my brain, attempting to form sentences, using the right words and pushing myself to improve, and when I need to rest eventually I do, it gets worse and I slur. This is how bad it is. There is no way out of this and I want out. I know exactly what this bright and beautiful woman is going through. Deonna, your paintings are very beautiful and the things you say when you write to express yourself. I wish you all the best with Love.
I feel so very much for this mom, For this person Who has had everything they have ever known shifted from under them. you can see see the tremendous weight they carry now due to having this diagnosis. That would feel so challenging to overcome. What a strong human being to overcome such massive hurdles.
Miss you Deonna! It's amazing how quickly you recovered and how resilient you have been. I remember everyone at Meridian Park wishing the best for you. Amazing video.
Hi, My name is Suryam. My age is 30 yrs old. I had a stroke. I have aphasia. I miss my mom & dad. My paralysis & aphasia issues are still hard 😔. I am from India.
I had a massive stroke a little over 5 years ago now, I was 37 years old. Had paralysis in my right hand and aphasia aproxia. I went to speech therapy twice a week for close to a year. I am so much better now, and you will be too :) keep your head up and keep working hard, I promise you will get there!
Thank you for sharing your difficulties with communication, and your very talented art with us! I have supported many different types of people with disabilities, my heart feels the pain. May you be healed soon Lovely 💜 ♥️ ❤️ Kindest regards, Kerri
I have aphasia for six years and I can literally walk to Issaquah Highlands! (it would be a long walk, but still). Anyways, much love. I know, acutely how you feel, my sister. We keep battling, micro improvements everyday. 👊🏼
Thank you for your story, your art, and sharing your challenge and gracious personality. I wonder if sign language is useful to help communicate while recovering.
Why we still rely on private industry and people's own incomes to pay for this kind of help, I don't know. This should be paid for by our country, like other countries do.
I'm in the US and it's been just 10 days since the onset of my sporadic expressive aphasia. I have a blockage in the left anterior cerebral artery - but I did not have a stroke. I have several other risk factors for stroke. I cannot work. I am afraid of the mounting bills with no income.
@@HappySunshineDay You should be going to public policy advocates with your story. People are having smoke blown into their face about the inadequacy of our health care.
I don't know if I got anything out of this video. ... I guess if you're super talented and have really good health insurance, you'll be ok? Is the message it's implying??

So touching, so inspirational! Art sure does speak; I'm an aphasian, and my guitar magnifies the quiet storm inside me. Du är bäst, Deonna!
This was an incredible video. Deonna is an amazing women, just as she was before the stroke. Her brilliance hasn’t left her.
