well, i hate to bump this thread above all the latest singer or movie star who died thread or even the so-called conservative lost his career thread, but...

i just felt like updating a bit on my 'progress'

I can walk.

I look like I'm drunk when i walk, but hey...

I've only fallen down a few times. Luckily except for once ther was something to stop me from getting hurt. Like a big chair that i landed in once lol. once i went to the ground, it hurt. i'm more careful now.

numbness is creeping down my face and the new one is numbness inside my mouth. lips feel weird.

i had an exam by an ophthalmologist and now have glasses. thry take away some of the loopiness i have when looking around. it's like i'm high, but not in a good way.

my mood has been strange. i'm happy and starting to realize that i did live a pretty decent life and raised some great kids who are now raising me some pretty good grandchildren.

i have this feeling of impending doom though. I try not to let it get me down, but I know my days are numbered. I've made a list of the projects around the house and property that i'd like to finish before i die.
Put a new post in for that gate. get a new drill press for my little rock shop. make rock pipes. i love stone pipes and i've got so many badass rocks that will make some beautiful works of smoking art. pipes that is.
the list goes on and i would like to finish it, but i can only do so much. most of the things have to be done by someone willing to do these things for me.

I remember helping my father-in-law with some of the things at his place before he died, just before my stroke. i know,,, my poor wife. She's gotten shafted. buried her dad then has to take care of me.

i cry when i think of that man talking right up to the end about the things he was gonna do. i hope to get this list done, then just try to enjoy the time left. I'm told stroke victims can live for 10 - 20 years.

Brain stem stroke victims... well 25% die the day of their stroke. of the 75% who survive, 40% die within 5 years. So hoping to be in that 60% that live past that. hard to shake this nasty thought and feeling that it could be any day.

So, I'm trying to be a positivr thinker, but it's hard. I know i can come here and get some good vibes and brother do they help.

lol, as long as they don't dogpile me too bad in the 'political' threads that i can't seem to resist. I was always the guy who was ready to throw down right now, with anyone or a dozen. Come one come all and get some. But those were actual fist fights back when i was young and yes, except when it was against my older brother, i kicked a lot of ass.

but nowadays, just virtual ass kicking thank you.

i guess i still got a little spunk left.

been almost 4 months since the stroke, i pray you guys keep your blood pressure in check. don't go crazy with the cholesterol laden junk. i never did, thought i ate well, but the BP was high. and it does not take much shit in you arteries to fuck up your brain stem. a small tight space no room for extra shit.

the eye doc says i have some blindness, which is part of that loopiness i feel when looking around. only the second day with the new glasses, so maybe i'll feel better as time goes by.

thanks for all the support fam, you know it means more a lot than i can express.

Sending best vibes to you and your family!

First I have seen this thread somehow. I will say though, from the beginning to the end of this thread you have made great progress! In the beginning you hope to walk again and now you can! It may not be just like before but its a literal step in the right direction!

Each step forward is progress and progress is fueled by positive attitude and determination. Kick that physical therapy's ass like you used to fist fight! You are still young and have a lot left, please don't forget that!

Best positive vibes and love sent brother!!

Keep us posted!

Sorry to hear about the stroke. Life sucks at times. But it's better than the alternative. Keep on fighting for what you need and want brother. Things will get better gradually.
