Different Strokes  As a stroke survivor and author of Different Strokes, I share my story and the story of twenty other survivors and spouses-in an effort to help loved ones make more sense of the changes in their lives. I believe that the stories in Different Strokes will help bring peace, and a better quality of life to survivors and families. Stroke is hell, as all survivors know-but there are often laughs! Together, we tell the whole story, from the heart -with humor and hope-as we face our ups and downs, physically, emotionally and cognitively.
