During or after surgery, I suffered a severe stroke.  I could not speak a word. I had difficulty breathing. I could not swallow and was being fed through a tube during part of my stay.  I was in a vegetative state and all the while the western medicine doctors continued to give me more and more medication. </p><p>Eventually, the doctors gave up and told my husband they didn’t think I would live.  I had one health crisis after another. My husband was told to put me in a nursing home, since I was not able to participate in any therapy in my present condition at the rehab facility.</p><p> </p><p>Then, just when all hope seemed gone my husband heard through a friend about acupuncture for stroke victims.  He immediately called a doctor trained in TCM to examine me.  </p><p> </p><p>On July 20<sup>th</sup> I was moved to a nursing home in my home town.  Four days later, I began acupuncture treatments.  Initially I was transported in a motor home borrowed from a neighbor the first two weeks. (The doctor came out and treated me in the motor home.) Then I was transported in a used ambulance until the middle of September when I could finally sit and ride in a car.  The ride consisted of 120 miles round trip, five days a week for approximately seven months.  Now the good news……….</p><p>Within two weeks…<b>only</b> <b>two short weeks</b>, after starting treatments I began to speak.   First it was words, then phrases and then sentences.  I had been locked up inside myself for two months. It was absolutely amazing!  It was a joyous time and quite possibly the most significant change of the whole treatment, since Western medicine doctors had told my husband that speech would be one of the last things to be regained.  The progress I was making was absolutely phenomenal!  My treatments consisted of acupuncture, massage, chi gong, and herbs,  </p><p> </p><p>By the end of August, almost three full months following the initial surgery, that glorious day I had longed for and patiently awaited, was finally here!  I was going home!!!!! I was off of almost all the medication, and had the catheter taken out that day.  I was now able to feed myself, brush my teeth, put my makeup on, and my sleep was beginning to improve.  Who would have imagined!  Just a few short weeks ago I was not expected to live. My family and friends could hardly believe their eyes.   </p><p> </p><p>Today, I’m able to speak, sit, stand, eat, dress, bathe, walk with the aid of a quad cane, and even drive the car. I went from bedridden to wheel chair to walker to cane during the course of my treatments.  I am able once again to enjoy life with my husband, children, grandchildren, and family and friends.  </p><p> </p><p>I am a living testament as to what TCM can do for this condition.   It is better than Western medicine for this condition.  It merely consisted of medication that covered up symptoms and pain. Unlike this technique<b> </b>which allows healing from within...the way God intended.  </p><p>  </p><p>I will never forget the miracle that happened through the knowledge and skill of TCM.  For me, it was truly life-saving!  </p>
