Daniel Redwood

"This is a must read for stroke victims, caretakers, health professionals, family and friends of people that have been afflicted with a stroke. Dr. Stump's teaching ability comes through in these pages in which he is able to clearly describe how he felt during the early stages of a stroke when he experienced initial weakness and inability to articulate his thoughts."
