I tend to make no sense when I try explaining how it changed me, but I'm happy to talk about my accident in detail in PM. </p> http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/stroke-cures-man-of-cocaine-addiction#post-649682 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:36:07 +0000 Kashmiri 649682@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ <p>It's true--written in straight forward language. Sorry, I'm always looking for poetry, probably where I shouldn't too. When did you have your brain injury? or is that too personal?</p> http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/stroke-cures-man-of-cocaine-addiction#post-649678 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:32:44 +0000 CocoPeaches 649678@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ <p>She communicated a lot of things that I experienced after my brain injury, plain and simple. And I was just so amazed that she re-learned language. And I remember it was a quick read. </p> http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/stroke-cures-man-of-cocaine-addiction#post-649662 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:05:48 +0000 Kashmiri 649662@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ <p>So true, Jilly.</p> <p>I read that book, too, Coco--I thought it was poorly written<img src="/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/icon_redface.gif" alt="embarrassed" title="embarrassed" /> I'll check out the TED talk:)</p> <p>My Leo Sun/Scorpio Moon uncle had a stroke when I was a kid, which is why he came to live with us for an extended period when I was 8.</p> http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/stroke-cures-man-of-cocaine-addiction#post-649630 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:26:56 +0000 CocoPeaches 649630@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ <p>That is an amazing story, Kash. I believe it. </p> <p>I never watched the TED talk, but I read the book, "A Stroke of Insight" ! It really touched me. </p>
