At 72, I suffered a stroke that left me unable to speak or walk. The months that followed were the hardest of my life, filled with frustration and fear. With the help of my family, therapists, and sheer determination, I regained my independence. I now volunteer at a rehab center, sharing my story to inspire others that recovery is possible at any age.
