Wonderful news. And he’s a very brave man for being so forthcoming with his struggles post-stroke which will no doubt help those experiencing similar symptoms in the future. I look forward to him being back in the Senate. [/quote]

The depression makes sense to me seeing sensorineural hearing loss in this list. I had sudden sensorineural hearing loss (full loss in one ear) over the course of two days. They thought it was a stroke, in fact, but it wasn't. Just unexplained SSNHL. I went into a spiraling depression that, in hindsight, I should have been hospitalized over. The loss of a sense is - to put it bluntly - depressing and for me life altering. It's how you move through the world, experience the world, hear the world (not taking away from people who are Deaf/born without hearing, I get that. But it's different from people who had hearing and lost it.) not to mention horrible balance issues, safety around directional hearing (can't hear people coming up on me from that side, including cars), vertigo, etc. It's taken me over a year and half to come to grips with how I go through life. I feel bad for him. [/quote]
