Stroke Survivor Cooks Wife Dinner For The First Time In Ten Years After Stroke

 Hi everyone,

It's Aaron Avila, Founder and CEO of Stroke TV Foundation.

I think one of the hardest things to deal with as a half paralyzed, in a wheelchair stroke survivor, is being totally reliant on my wife (Rebecca Avila) and constantly feeling like a burden to Reecca. Never really being able to give back to her in a meaningful way.

Well last night I saw her having to deal with some negative energy matters.

I wanted to do something for her that would give her some much needed positive energy. 

So, in the past I have successfully cooked myself some eggs and hash browns for breakfast, so I remembered the night before for dinner Rebecca made Philly Cheese Steaks.

I noticed there was some leftover Bell Peppers, Onions and Steak in the fridge. Being a Foody and Ameture Cook before my stroke, I said to myself, I'll surprise Rebecca while she was in the backyard talking to a friend on the phone by cooking her something dinner.

So I made her:

Pan sired (fried) Potato Patty in Extra Virgin Garlic Infused Olive Oil. Topped with a Bell Pepper and Onion Egg Scramble with grated cheese.

I totally suprised her when I said something I haven't said in ten years. 

"I made you dinner honey, Come eat"

She was totally suprised and it tasted awesome!

Here's some pictures.
