The road back from a stroke for me included a recovery goal of setting my sights on someday returning to take on one of the biggest challenges again I had achieved before my stroke, running the Boston Marathon. This is why in part this post gives me such great pleasure, as along with my co-host Michael Garrow Enable_Us we welcome back Caroline Goggin (the intro voice of the #KnowStrokePodcast) back to the show with her husband Travis Eldridge. In this episode we were able highlight some of the difficult conversations and decisions young couples face when coming back from experiencing such a life altering event, a stroke. We really enjoyed this episode, especially as Travis was able to bring his experiences of the spouse as caregiver, and the grief and helplessness one goes through silently while supporting their own spouse. In this case, Caroline and Travis had only been married 3 weeks when they were faced with the challenges of balancing life after a stroke.
Coming full circle with this couple and following Caroline’s recovery journey, I can say it has been a pleasure to share their announcement in this this episode. They will be setting their sites on the Boston Marathon later this year in April as Caroline’s recovery journey takes the next step forward. In this soundbite you’ll hear Caroline talk about her progression in her recovery and setting sights on a marathon. This is important for all survivors to hear, as small steps can start a ripple effect that can lead to overcoming challenges and achieving bigger goals that you might currently feel are impossible. This is the theme of Season 3 of our podcast, finding your own why and achieving goals and it was so great to lead with Caroline and Travis to help showcase what is possible when you have a plan. My co-host Mike and I always say, every stroke survivor has a certain potential level for recovery. It is those survivors, like Caroline, that build the mindset they will “train like and athlete
This was a real impactful episode for my co-host Mike and I as we convened late this past Sunday evening on the Know Stroke Podcast to interview board certified vascular and general neurologist, Lester Leung, MD, MSc of Tufts MC. This episode was also very personal as I was able to thank Lester for the critical role he played in my own stroke recovery both as my neurologist and as a friend and coach.
