This is the first time I've heard Matt Christman speak since he had the stroke last year. He read a political poem at the live show, but the video cuts off before the poem.

It sounds like still needs a script to speak, but he sounds good

[–] Hexboare@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Being able to see the letters, process them and connect them to the right speech sounds is very good.

This site has some simulations of aphasia to put it into context

Very interesting site. A lot of the descriptions about terms becoming incorrectly "associated" (the example I got was the word "hammer" conjuring the image of a screwdriver) sounds a lot like schizophrenia symptoms, but apparently they have very different mechanisms.

Really makes me feel bad for Matt, anyone who rants often is someone who thinks in paragraphs, so the aphasia must really be frustrating. Glad to see he's doing better

I'd love to see the whole thing. Does anyone at least have a longer video?

Lies, that's clearly the real Santa

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 36 points 1 week ago

He looks and sounds good, the big red jolly boy.

Do we know if he might make a full recovery? I'm so glad he can appear in public!

Oh wow. She's so pretty now!

e: Chat, I have been informed that Matt is actually the fella in the wheelchair. The woman in red is Amber. amber-snacking amber

ah man i didn't know he was in a wheelchair :/

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

he had a stroke and he was suffering from chronic back pain before that. honestly having the energy to do a live show by this point is a great sign.

[–] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

I know he had a stroke but I did not know that it was and is still so physically debilitating

[–] Chapo_is_Red@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

iirc, he was already walking with a cane before the strike

Does anyone have the text of the poem?
