Glendora After Stroke

A great social/​support group for stroke survivors that meets every Wednesday from 9am to 2-​ish pm. The mornings starts off with the choice between either a current events discussion group or a music group. Both are fun speech therapy. Then everyone meets up to stretch and sing a little bit. The rest of the day varies each week, but usual there is a guest speaker or performance or group activity. Sponsored by the City of Glendora and Citrus College, the program and services are free. So, come and join the cheap fun!
Glendora After Stroke is a little similar to a great dive bar except for the alcohol and drinking. What make it great is not anything fancy schamancy. Simply, it is a place where stroke survivors can make friends and find encouragement from people who share and understand the frustrations and challenges of life after a stroke. The theme song of this group is aptly the intro to Cheers «You wanna be where you can see our troubles are all the same.»
Unlike a great dive bar, not everyone will know your name and those walking with an unsteady gait or slurring their words are not drunk. Poor memory, aphasia, and hemiplegia are among the many difficult effects of a stroke. If you are facing these challenges, come and vent your worries and see how others are overcoming them.
