Hello, and welcome to the I Survived the Stroke Store. My name is John Van Deun and I had a stroke in November of 2008. That puts me over 15 years out; because these years have not been my favorite and as you might guess these years have been a constant cycle of ups and downs. In the beginning mostly downs. But as the years have gone by the ups have been more and more frequent. Probably due to a change in my outlook on life and my attitude. Please visit my blog if you would like to learn more about my stroke journey and some useful information about strokes. There is a button to go there in the header or footer of this page. Or you can get there from here.
