Just Another Story. My Mother's Stroke.

Page 27.
     My mother died in November, 1984. I actually hadn't lived with her since July of '79 though, because that's when she had a massive stroke which left her severely incapacitated due to physical and cognitive disabilities. I was 17 at the time of her stroke and she was 60. This was the summer between my junior and senior years in high school. During the 5 &1/2 years she lived disabled, in the nursing home, I saw her, perhaps, 10-15 times.
