Whilst I was in stroke rehab the speech pathologist would go to work on me. I couldn’t speak, therefore without communication there is no communication. They taught me how to talk again. One number at a time, one letter at a time. After a 60min session my brain was overloaded, but after a rest, I knew it was doing me good. It was a few weeks and I learnt the alphabet and learnt numbers 1 to 100. I thought I was pretty good, then the speechy made me do it backwards!
