Half of a kind: Handicap parking

Handicap parking

Since I am 21, I am not the average stroke victim. i can't count how many mean looks I've gotten when I park in a handicap parking space. just because i don't appear to be handicap doesn't mean I am not. I try not to park in handicap parking but sometimes I actually feel handicap so I do. one lady cursed at me because she said I had no right to park in a handicap zone and she wasn't even handicap she said if her dad was with her she would have parked there so usually I just park in handicap parking when I am wearing shorts so people can see my leg brace.

Welcome

Welcome to the half of a kind blog. the purpose of my blog is to give the reader insight of challenges that a stroke victim may encounter on a daily basis from the perspective of a person that has experienced a stroke. A physician or neurologist can tell you what is going on with your body if you have had a stroke but they could never fully understand your situation unless they experience a stroke themselves. I also intend to encourage stroke victims to never give up on themselves and to look at a stroke like a second chance of life.I am also writing this blog with the hope that helping others will help me as well I can walk and use my arm but I am still doing therapy on my wrist, ankle, and fingers. Being one of a kind means a person is unique but for an individual like myself, who has suffered a stroke, not many people can relate.Being half of a kind does not make you less unique because not many can say they have gone through the same challenges as a stroke survivor so being half of a kind is a distinction that truly makes you one of a kind.
