Since
it's creation in June 2004, many of you have visited
my Patriotic
/ Inspirational
Libraries hundreds of thousands of
times. Now, I
want to help others avoid the wasted years
of valuable time and torment that we experienced.
I've added a Low-Cost
Rehabilitation Therapy Library
to include possible therapies, treatments cures for cancer, stroke...
/ brain injury victims, diabetes,
heart, blood pressure / hypertension,
Alzheimer's, rheumatism / rheumatoid
arthritis, pain, hearing / vision / memory /
balance & insurance - long term health care
problems to
read in privacy without ever leaving home.
On Easter
Sunday 1994 my husband of 23 years at the time, Rick
experienced a severe base of the brain stroke (torn
vertebral artery) at the
age of 44. It left his entire right side, concentration, memory, cognitive skills,
vision and
personality traits severely impaired.
The conventional medical
establishment saved his life but did very little to help with
motivation, attitude, inspiration and
long-term rehabilitation.
That's when our long journey began!
The majority of Rick's recovery
came after he was told by his medical doctor that he would probably
never improve, was refused therapy and sent away.
After
a short time in therapy Rick was let go and
told that for any further therapy he was on
his own. We were told that our insurance
company refused to pay for any further therapy
because he would probably never get much
better anyway. Not being able to afford
$150.00 per hour at the time on our own and
being declined by the state Department of
Rehabiltiation, Rick
sank into a deep depression, began drinking while on antidepressants and became very
bitter. It
wasn't until later when he met Dr. Vincent
a clinical psychologist
that things
began to improve.
We
began searching for low-cost alternatives
that we could afford and do/use at
home.
Through
years of searching, joining support groups and
talking to others we learned more from
ordinary people with experience than we did
from the so called experts.
I've
gathered possible alternative solutions to the
sometime-embarrassing emotional, mental, physical,
financial/income and spiritual problems that we encountered into
one place for others that are too poor
to pay but too wealthy to get aide like we are.
Hopefully, it will help others to avoid the wasted years of torment we experienced!!!
