You had a stroke. Now what? A life interrupted.

After a stroke you’ll feel confused, lonely, but that’s just the start of it. You might find you can’t talk, can’t walk, can’t write, can’t read, and can’t communicate. All the things you used to do become, things you find very difficult.

The good news is you can get better. And I wrote this book to prove it! If you don’t tell people, they will never ever know.

A magnificent
story of hope.

This is a tale of loss, a rare insight into the life of a stroke survivor. It is touching and sad, but inspirational…..it shows great fortitude and resolve and it ends with a new beginning.

Finding your way home.

If a bridge collapsed in your town and it was peak hour traffic, a few cars would end in the water and lives would be lost. Eventually cars would back up on either side but the people would still want to go home. They would find another route. It wouldn’t be the fastest way home but they would still get there.

So too with a stroke victim! In some cases part of the brain has collapsed but the brain has these amazing qualities to find other pathways to navigate the way home.

So this is my story about how a stroke victim’s brain can find a way home.

A remarkable
story!

About the author, Ray Bekeris

I always liked the idea of professional fishing. It was a combination of catching and chasing the unknown, the unrelenting and the unpredictability of the ocean. I had fished in New Zealand and all-around Australia. It seemed it was in my blood.

I became a fishing fleet master in 1996 till 2017 whereby I help managed up to 20 prawn and scallop trawlers in a managerial role. My job as a fleet master was also unrelenting an at times unpredictable a bit like the ocean that I came from.
