Can we please stop making jokes about having strokes? It's not funny at all.

My mother had a hemorrhagic stroke at the end of 2016 and it's a miracle she survived.

It's not a joke.

@melsaywhat my dad had a stroke a few years back. It has made his ability to deal with his autism decline. He is not a happy person.

@looneybyron I talk to my Mom regularly (a few times a week). Stroke recovery is very different by person. I'm happy to share experiences and coping mechanisms. It's also challenging for us.

@melsaywhat my father is sadly on another continent stuck with my narcissistic mother. I try to offer him advice but he’s even more stand offish than before.

My 36 year old daughter had a stroke in February. She's recovering well.

I'm not sure I'll ever recover. That's not supposed to happen to your kid.

So, no. Not funny at all.

I've learned a lot about strokes and recovery since late 2016 when my mom had her stroke. There is a YouTube channel that she follows about a woman who had a more severe recovery. I will look it up and share the link. It's different for everyone. Strokes are also a topic that people seem to be not very educated on. I say this because when my dad called me and said that she had a stroke quite honestly I didn't know how severe it was.

Your daughter is in my a train and I'm so very sorry that she had to go through that. I also somewhat understand how very trying it is for the people who love her. My dad is a trooper. I wish I could help more but I'm 1800 mi away and oftentimes I think that I just need to move there, but my 24-year-old son is here and he's still my baby.
