Stroke Talk....

Have you ever had those days where no matter what you say, people don't hear it the way you meant it, or even hear it at all? Have those spouses or close friends who get this brand new exciting advice or hear about the latest trend from someone else, well after you have told them?

My client calls this syndrome "Stroke" talk.

She told me a story of a close friend of hers who had a stroke, was conscious, but could not speak. Of course, she did not know she couldn't speak as the result of the stroke until afterwards. But during the examination was screaming at the top of her lungs the answers to all of the nurses questions. She became very frustrated when the nurse ignored her, or rolled her eyes at what she thought were very reasonable respsonses. She later found out that all that was coming out of her mouth were mumbles and slobber...

Yeah, that is how I feel today.....

  1. I think my husband has that disease. He thinks he's totally logical at all times, but to the rest of the world, most of the drivel that comes out of his mouth is complete nonsense.

    Then again, he IS British. Maybe it's not entirely his fault. ;-)
