Kate Adamson was totally paralyzed by a severe double brainstem stroke on June 29, 1995. One day she was active, vibrant, physically fit, happy mother of two toddlers. The next morning she was in intensive care completely paralyzed. She was totally trapped in her body screaming, silently, helplessly. Soon after the stroke, she became aware that she could blink. From there, is a remarkable story of her recovery. She is now reaching out to people on behalf of Terry Shiavo, who is in a condition very similar to what she experienced.
