How to Survive and Thrive after a stroke, with Emma Gee

How do you recover physically from a stroke that left you unable to blink or swallow, let alone speak or walk? How do you move past the anger, the resentment, and the fear you’ve become a burden to the people you love?   At the age of twenty-four, occupational therapist Emma was a keen traveller and an avid runner. When surgery to remove a malformation in her brain went wrong, the subsequent stroke robbed Emma of life as she knew it.   Fifteen years later, Emma has come a long way in her physical and emotional rehabilitation. She now lives with her dog, Gilbert, and in addition to her job as an occupational therapist she gives inspirational talks about her experience.   The book: Emma Gee’s Reinventing Emma   Find more about Emma on her website and follow her on Twitter @egee1 and on Facebook EmmaGeecom   If you enjoy the podcast, don't forget to subscribe, share and review.   Follow us on Twitter @toughlovepc or on Instagram @missleonardis
