[@lolafaleye1900]

To a stroke survivor! It is God that keeps you and me! Many have gone or passed, they didn’t survive to share their stories. Thank you Bill, God bless you.

What you do Bill is nothing short of amazing. I'm 20 years and can't believe how far I've come. I'm away in Thialand, can't believe the success. Its still tough with deficits, but honestly it's doable

[@BillGasiamis]

Thanks for your lovely words Siobhan

[@priscilladamon3059]

Thanks for posting...it's encouraging

[@robeebrown1500]

I needed to hear this today! Just when I think these stories can’t get any more powerful or relatable…they do!! Thank you so much.

[@BillGasiamis]

Great that you are getting value from the interviews.

[@vladlivelooping460]

I'm three weeks after the stroke at my 34 years. Your channel helps a lot, Bill. I'm only at the beggining of my journey, but it is very important to see that people do actually live after the stroke and find the updated new meaning of their lives considering the limitations they get after the incident. In my case I was able to walk 5 km today. The damaged area inside the brain is measured in millimeters, not the worst case. But the rehabilitation is still quite tough. The way the blood circulates inside the brain changes from time to time, making it hard to think, plan, choose words, causing strange feelings in my face. Some sort of waves where several hours during the day you feel almost normal, but then for 10 hours the brain starts its own recovery and my cognitive requests are blocked, making myself feeling 'lagging' and demotivated. Also fatigue is stepping in from time to time. Still, I'm finding it a positive experience, cause it could be stroke of a totally another level in several years of the same lifestyle. Now I'm much deeper into my health and, probably, will live longer due to that. Really, no one is promised to have tomorrow. I'm happy I'm still here and was able to see my wife, hear my children, etc. Thank you again and have a nice day. ))

[@BillGasiamis]

Glad you like them! These are the interviews i needed way back when and i am glad they are serving others also.

[@brasueda8657]

Outstanding episode, thank you to you both foryour openess and candoron what stroke can look,like😊 🙏

[@BillGasiamis]

You are most welcome.

[@shirleyelvis7747]

Very inspiring and encouraging

[@BillGasiamis]

Excellent

[@new2film1]

Thanks! Very helpful. I too used to speak to large crowds. Two strokes, and Aphasia, ended that. Oh well, it's time for something else. I know I survived to show others how to stay strong and to always keep trying! And that's a good thing!

[@BillGasiamis]

Best wishes to you for an ongoing recovery

[@unaevcenmivida]

Great conversation!! Thanks both.

[@BillGasiamis]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@janecanfield5561]

I also had sleep stroke, so I guess I part of the 2% The I had an Ischemic stroke, outdoors not have the injection either that I was told there was a a very small percentage that survived the type I had especially at how massive it was. iI am to thankful to still be alive, thank you for sharing, I’m at a new realization of how close to that experience!

[@BillGasiamis]

Congratulations on your survival best wishes for your continued recovery.

[@CKiemle]

Bill thank you this episode really resonates, I too as a stroke survivor of 5 barely months I have survivors guilt I have some deficits yet many people don’t see or understand. As I recover and continue to work on my cognitive deficits I too think of ways I can help others see all the good that comes from holding space for ourselves in this time.

[@BillGasiamis]

Helping others really does channel that survivors guilt in the right direction.

[@janecanfield5561]

The question for me, what is my purpose, I came to realize my purpose was to be inspirational in faith for other people to trust in faith.

[@BillGasiamis]

That is an excellent purpose.

[@iyaboakintomide3658]

I'm so happy for you. I also like the faith, family, fun and one other that you said keep you going. Glory be to God.

Thank you Bill

🧡

[@EstherAsare-Agyekum]

God is Good I pray for healing for my husband.

[@BillGasiamis]

🧡

[@Jjojjja]

it's great to see you positive, but we would benefit much more from what drug the guest is using that keeps his aphasia under control? it would be nice if he shared it, maybe it would be useful to someone else

[@BillGasiamis]

His aphasia recovery is related to rehabilitation and perhaps not a less severe version of Aphasia than others, so with time his speech improved.

[@brigitte989]

Let’s talk about the 15 medications!

[@BillGasiamis]

Is there a specific question

[@MusongKim]

I had stroke I'm getting a Botox treatment to relax my foot to be more flat to progress my next progression to getting my foot more flat due to too much spasticity in my calf and shin muscles great information not sure if you have worked with people with lots of supination any suggestions on flattening my foot after Botox treatment would be very helpful thank you in advance just trying to recover I always curious about different recovery methods to help this community ty

[@BillGasiamis]

Thanks for your comment, i have no qualifications when it comes to those type of matters and can not advise.

[@ifeomaobidinma4044]

God is so good. You and I are great survivors. God made it possible and I don't take it for granted Jesus 🙌 I. Give all the glory to Almighty 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@BillGasiamis]
