A primer on Locked-In Syndrome

Basically, I've got a perfectly good mind in a perfectly good body, with no connection between them. I still understand everything I see and hear--though it takes a while to read and to respond.

I can't move anything but my eyes, which is admittedly a big deal. I'm still incredibly blessed with the abilities to see, hear, think, communicate, and so many others. Since I was pretty much a mental creature before the stroke, I'm still the a same person, just a lot slower.
