You will see in my resume that i have not worked since 2011.

In October of 2011 I had a stroke. I had to relearn how to walk, talk, and then I started to have seizers and my drivers license's was taken away. I am now completely healthy and i would like to return to the workforce before i am too old to do so. I do still have children and can only work first shift.
