Claudia Fortunato-Napolitano is the Happiness Hero at John’s Crazy Socks. While still a young woman (Claudia is only 35), she suffered a major stroke in January 2017. Claudia is an essential team member at John’s Crazy socks working to spread happiness and show every day what is possible when you give a person a chance. Claudia is sharing her recovery in this blog, so others can learn off the challenges facing stroke recovery patients and people in recovery can take strength and inspiration from knowing they are not alone. I write this blog in the hope that my experiences, may offer hope and inspiration to others. Recovery is hard, really hard, and sharing the journey makes it a little less difficult. I know that my blog is connecting with people when I hear from other stroke survivors.
