In November 2005, Mark suffered a minor stroke while visiting relatives in Baltimore. The hospital misdiagnosed it as the flu and discharged him. A few days later, on a flight back to his home in Orlando, McEwen suffered a massive stroke during the plane’s descent. It almost killed him, and it might have been prevented.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>McEwen, a talented and witty public speaker, suddenly found himself stuck in a hospital, unable to talk, swallow, or move half his body. In his new book, CHANGE IN THE WEATHER: Life After Stroke, McEwen’s writes candidly everything that happened next, in an intimate chronicle of inspiring perseverance.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Today, over two years later, McEwen has returned to much of his normal life—walking, talking, driving, and even going back on TV. With CHANGE IN THE WEATHER, McEwen has decided to share his story because “I want stroke survivors to know that they’re not alone. There is indeed life after stroke, and even in the most extreme cases, patients can expect to recover pieces of their old lives and graft them onto whatever new experiences lay in wait.”<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>In addition to discussing what we need to know about stroke and its warning signs, he can discuss his illustrious career and how stroke humbled him.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>For more information on the book visit: http://www.markmcewen.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678379505679689193.post-77874368616942641062008-05-12T11:12:00.000-05:002008-05-12T11:12:00.000-05:00Hi Cleo,In honor of Stroke Awareness Month, I just...Hi Cleo,<BR/><BR/>In honor of Stroke Awareness Month, I just threw a little link love your way:<BR/><BR/>http://www.caring.com/blogs/caring-currents/link-love-for-stroke-awareness-month<BR/><BR/>Stephanie Trelogan<BR/>Senior Editor, Caring.com<BR/>Heart Disease, Stroke, and DepressionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678379505679689193.post-11392459373388333812008-05-07T20:43:00.000-05:002008-05-07T20:43:00.000-05:00I just found your blog and mentioned in my own, ht...I just found your blog and mentioned in my own, http://stroke-of-faith.blogspot.com.
