Mai i te Kaituhituhi Pouaka Whakaata ki te Noho me te Aphasia
Whai muri i te aneurysm roro me te whiu, i hanga anō e te kairīpoata kua tohua ki te Emmy tōna ao.
Te Kōrero a Michelle Clemens
He wahine hauora a Michelle Clemens, 25 tau te pakeke, ā, he kairīpoata pūrongo pouaka whakaata kua tohua ki te Emmy, he tangata i pai ki te oma, te haereere, me te tunu keke iti. I a ia e noho ana i Green Bay, Wisconsin, i te Hononga o Amerika, i huripokitia tōna ao i te marama o Mei 2017 i te wā i pakaru ai tōna roro i te aneurysm i puta ai he whiu, ā, i roto i te wā poto ka huri katoa ngā mea.
I muri i tana pokanga roro e toru, me te noho wiki i roto i te wāhanga tiaki nui, ka oho ake a Michelle me te aphasia, te apraxia o te kōrero, me te pararutiki i tōna taha matau. Hei kairīpoata i arotahi tana mahi ki te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero, ko te ngaronga o te kaha ki te kōrero me te ngāwari tetahi o ngā wāhanga tino uaua o tana whakaoranga. I uaua ngā kōrero o ia rā, ā, me ako anō ia i ngā pūkenga i whakaarohia e ia he mea noa i mua.
Te whakaoranga o Michelle He haerenga manawanui, whakapono, me te whakatau. I roto i ngā tau maha o te whakaora kōrero, te whakaora, te whakakori tinana, me ngā haora maha o te mahi, kei te haere tonu ia ki te ahu whakamua. Ahakoa kei te noho tonu te aphasia hei wāhanga o tōna ao, kāore ia e whakaae kia waiho e tēnei hei whakatau ko wai ia. Engari, ka whakanuia e ia ia tohu nui, ā, ka haere tonu ia ki te neke whakamua i ia taahiraa i ia wā.
He Upoko Hou hei Kaituhi
I tēnei rā, he kaikōrero whakahihiri a Michelle, he kaituhi "“WHAKATAU”", he kaiwhakaako whaiaro me te kaiako whakakori tinana, he kaihanga kiriata, me te hunga i ora mai i te whiu. Ka whakapuaki ia i tana kōrero hei whakatenatena i te hunga i ora mai i te whiu, i te hunga e ora ana me te aphasia, i ō rātou whānau, me ngā kaitiaki. Ko tana kaupapa matua he whakaara ake i te mōhiotanga mō te aphasia me te whakamahara ki ētahi atu he taea te whakaora, ahakoa te ahua puhoi.
E hiahia ana a Michelle kia mārama te iwi he pānga te koretake o te reo ki te kaha o te tangata ki te kōrero—kāore e pā ki te hinengaro. E akiaki ana ia i ētahi atu kia manawanui, kia whakarongo kaua e tere, ā, kia hoatu he wā ki te hunga whai koretake o te reo kia whakapuaki i ō rātou whakaaro.
He māmā noa iho tana karere ki ētahi atu e ora ana me te aphasia:
“"Kaua e mutu, kaua hoki e ngākau rua. He haerenga uaua te whakaora, engari kei te ora tonu tō roro. Me mahi tonu, me whakapono tonu, me whakanui hoki i ia wikitoria iti."”
E whakapono ana a Michelle he ahurei ia haerenga whakaora. Ko tana tumanako ka whakaaweawe tana kōrero i ētahi atu kia kitea te kaha i ngā wā uaua, kia awhi i te tumanako, kia maumahara hoki ko te oranga i muri i te whiu ka taea tonu te whai tikanga, te whai kaupapa, me te ki tonu i ngā mea ka taea.
