Representative Joe Casello (D-Boynton Beach) today shared news that he is on the road to a full recovery after suffering a mild stroke in mid-February. Since then, Representative Casello has attentively followed the advice of his medical team by working from home rather than Tallahassee and meeting regularly with rehabilitative therapists to strengthen his speech and pronunciation. Because his cognitive abilities were not impacted, he is anticipated to make a full recovery.
Reflecting on his experience, Representative Casello said, “I’m tremendously grateful not only to the doctors and nurses at Delray Medical Center, but also to the therapists who have been helping me finetune my speech since being released. It’s thanks to you that I have been able to bounce back so quickly in order to continue effectively serving the people of Palm Beach County. I would also like to express my deep appreciation to the tireless members of my staff as well as so many colleagues – from both sides of the aisle – whose encouragement has warmed my heart and hastened my recovery. I look forward to getting 100% back to work and continuing to serve my community.”
