the age of 21, he must use a paddle to prevent his hand from curling
into a fist when he swims
By Mary Decked
■ The New Mexico Daily Lobo

David Danemann felt guilty for not going to class on
that Monday morning in 19H7. When he finally pulled
himself out of bed at three in the afternoon to run to the
gym. he had no way of knowing that within an hour he’d
be lying in the gravel, the left side of his body paralyzed
by a stroke.
Danemann. now 23. has spent the last two years
rebuilding his life through physical rehabilitation and
counseling and coming to terms with the limitations the
stroke has imposed on his body.
The stroke is still clear in Danemann's memory He
was running as part of his training for a tnathalon when
he lost control of the left side of his body He rememliers
feeling overcome with drowsiness and a desire to lie
down on the road, within a few feet ofthe speeding traffic,
and go to sleep
