      My husband had a massive ischemic stroke in 2015. He has a very bad case of aphasia so he doesn’t talk. He walks with the aide of a cane and a gait belt. He is also paralyzed on the right side.
      Brad you are very lucky.
      I wish my husband had your luck.
      If you know of a stroke support group please let me know. I have been look since his stroke with no luck.

         Hello Sue,

         Thanks for reaching out. We have reached out to a member of our Marshfield Clinic team who should be able to let you know if a stroke support group is available. We will let you know as soon as we hear back.

         Thanks,
         Jake

         Hello Sue,

         A member of our Marshfield Clinic team got back to us regarding stroke support groups and here is what she had to say:

         If you live in the Marshfield, WI area, there is a very active stroke support group:
         Marshfield Area Stroke Support Group – Surviving Stroke Together
         • Offers resources and support to stroke survivors and their family members, including educational, recreational, and social opportunities.
         • For up-to-date meeting dates and location, or to be added to the mailing list or email, call 715-389-3969.

         If you live somewhere else in Wisconsin:
         Let us know — our expert knows of other support groups throughout the state

         Another resource:
         The National Aphasia Association is another good resource. Visit: http://www.aphasia.org or call: 1-800-922-4622 for more.

         Hope that helps and please let me know if you need anything else!
         -Jake
