Welcome to the page of Shayne and Barbara!
We live in a little town in north central West Virginia. We are a happily married couple that views life a little differently then most. As you learn more about us, you will understand why.
I (Shayne) am retired military, and currently work as a shift manager in a bowling alley. I will be doing most of the blogging on our page for reasons which I will explain later.
OK, let's get right to the heart of the matter, Barb nor I are seeking anything from anyone, we want to share knowledge, to help others, in the area of stroke survival and recovery.
Barb last year at the young age of 44, had a stroke, it is undetermined at by the Doc's exactly what caused it, none the less, it happened. Barb is currently diagnosed as fully disabled, and is comfortable staying at home.
In the past year, Barb and I have learned alot about strokes, and what they can do to a person, the family and their lifestyle. It is not all hopeless though.
This is the point of my blogs, I want to share what we have learned with others, maybe to help others recover from a stroke or provide emotional support if anyone has a friend or family member who might suffer from this affliction.
We have learned means of prevention, what to do in the event of, and more importantly, what to do once a stroke victim is released into the care of the family.
Please feel free to ask questions, I will tell you, I am not a doctor, I am just a husband, who witnessed the entire ordeal as this stroke attacked my wife and I could do nothing to stop it. So in turn, I have done everything I could to help her recover from it, and I think Barb and I have done well with it. If I can not answer your questions through our experiences, I will do what I can to research and find the answer.
Thanks for reading and once again, if you or someone you know has any questions, please drop me a line.
S and B
