Talking With Jill Bolte Taylor

This article is very good. I haven't finished the book yet but I did get it. I am hoping it will give me insight for my mother who had a stroke not long ago. Thank you.

I had a Stroke level 8, Intercranial (Brain) Hemorrhage of my Basal Ganglia, in March 2009. After 2 years on my own path, I owe MY LIFE to Chiropractic, Nutritiional Supplements, and to Hyperbaric Therapy.

Very moving! and informing! Kudo's to Dr. Taylor for her adapting her story to the world!

Excellent - there is always hope and many times people give up too easily. I like what she said about the medical care. My father had a stroke and the care was terrible! Nurses trying to force him to feed himself and he couldn't even lift his arm. I went through a stroke clinic just to learn more and it was helpful, but this article is wonderful! Again, we give up much too soon!

Your story is very touching, my mother too suffered a stroke that affected her left side arm, hand and leg. she was told by doctors that she will never walk or be able to use her left arm again. and i think that has kept her in the negative side. we family members try to give her hope that someday she will walk again. it's been almost 2 years this coming march that she had her stroke. has made some improvement in her walking. currently she is in a nursing rehab center and i am strongly thinking of taking her home and care for her myself and hopefully gave sisters to help. your relationship with your mother reminds me of mine with my mother. thank you for sharing your story. i have asked family members to read it as well. thanks again. ana from houston, texas
