Dan recommends these squishy stress-relief eggs from Amazon! He squeezes one in his right hand when he's having a tough time thinking of a word, and he says it helps. Other members are trying them too. Thanks Dan!. #FriendsHelpingFriends #StrokeSurvivors #TalkAboutAphasia

Peter recommends these elastic no-tie shoelaces from Amazon! After a stroke, many folks have weakness in one hand, so tying shoes can be difficult. Once these are set up, getting shoes on and off is a breeze. Thanks Peter!. #FriendsHelpingFriends #AphasiaAwareness #StrokeSurvivor

Got these great hiking pants at @REI during our recent tabling event there. They go perfectly with my @FriendsAphasia t-shirt! I wore them to our movie event yesterday at Roadhouse Cinemas and got lots of compliments. So great to have an REI here in Tucson!!!
