Jerry Meland had two strokes in the space of six months, events that profoundly altered the way he looked at himself and his life. In the aftermath of these cerebral events, he found himself a beaten-up character, shell-shocked, disoriented and dazed, desperately trying to make sense of the confusion. He has made a recovery that is nothing short of miraculous, and he credits his wife and family with the support that made it all possible. Today he appreciates life more and is learning that moderation, for him, means greater happiness.
