Patty Machelor Fabi Hirsch Kruse had just started her private practice when she was asked to help one of her field’s most famous patients.

Early last week, Andy Ortiz, Christina Thomas and Rona Howard gathered there, with Kruse, for a group therapy session. Each of these Tucsonans developed aphasia after a stroke, and each have unique challenges when it comes to language and communication.
Another reason, she said, is to help people follow a train of thought, and recall where the conversation is at if they lose their place. Lastly, it serves as a way to maintain a record of what was shared. That way, a group member can point to a word and resume the conversation if they’ve lost their place.
While Thomas communicates clearly at time during the session, other times she pauses for a long time, and sometimes the words didn’t come to her at all. Howard wrote that she can sometimes hear her daughter making her own doctor’s appointment “because I can’t talk on the phone.” Local news top story 2011 Tucson mass shooting victims Six people died and 13 were injured when a gunman opened fire outside the Safeway store at Ina and Oracle roads on Jan. 8, 2011.
