| Rebecca Dutton Home After a Stroke |
- I am an occupational therapist (OT) who specialized in stroke rehab. I continued my education by having a stroke in 2004 that paralyzed my dominant right side and impaired my balance.
- I live alone so I am both the caregiver and the stroke survivor.
- My non-dominant left hand got good at typing one-handed on the computer. Hundreds of practical solutions later I realized I had written a book called My Last Degree: A Therapist Goes Home After a Stroke.
- My sense of purpose continued to grow as I developed Power Point presentations for stroke survivor support groups, rehab professionals, and OT students.
- I live in New Jersey, U.S.A. You can e-mail me at homeafterastroke3@verizon.net or Tweet me @RebeccadEDutton or you can see my site Home After a Stroke.

| Amy Shissler My Cerebellar Stroke Recovery |
- I used to be a physical therapist, well, I guess I still am but I identify myself as a stroke survivor.
- In 2011, I had a massive stroke at the age of 30.
- It’s a lot more common for a young person to have a stroke than anyone thinks. I could’ve taken a continuing education course about strokes but I decided to have one instead. I’m getting a much better education this way.
- Previously I worked for Phoenix Rehabilitation and Health Services.
- Arcadia University, Doctor of Physical Therapy - 2004–2007.
- James Madison University, BS Kinesiology and Exercise Science - 2001–2003.
- Now I am Blogger - a site about recovering from my stroke, with all kinds of useful tips and explanations from my physical therapy days.
- Please see my site My Cerebellar Stroke Recovery.
