How it feels to have a stroke

Help With Acne

http://www.ted.com Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

Watching this reminded me of my late wife who died from a brain tumour. She was often fascinated with patterns and incidental objects. There was also an incredible connection between us in this period. Before she died, she tried to speak to me, but I wasnt able to understand her. This was the last time she tried to communicate with me before she died three days later. After listening to Jill Bolte Taylor, theres no doubt my beautiful late wife experienced Nirvana - I saw it in her eyes.

Anybody contributing negative posts to this video... spare us all and take your daily prescription dose of adderall... I say this only so you have to ability to fluidly pay attention to the detail and become a sponge for what she has to say. You all may feel a little less miserable on a day to day basis.

I honestly don't know what you'd expect of her... she's passionately describing a personal experience to an audience, and sharing something that's more than just an idea, and inspiring people. Lay off the cynicism for a day would ya?

Sounds like my first trip on ecstasy.

Brill! Good on her - what an experience!

I find her tone annoying - too rushed and close to hysterical. I understand what she is describing; my only problem is that I find her too irritable to be objective. Sorry.

Bla bla - nigs R trash, & intelligence runs in a continuum (4 the most part) from light (smart) 2 black (retarded animals). That's reality & U know it. Due 2 the range of intelligence within each race there is considerable overlap, but of course the world runs on the technology of whites, enabling it 2 support billions instead of millions. Now KILL WHITEY! Remember, all the LIFE whitey creates doesn't matter. Kill whitey 4 his 'sins' - especially the 'sin' of having white families/nations.
