Sorry to hear about it !


About a week ago, I made it a point to share a lane at the gym with a woman I had talked to in the hot tub.

She had had a stroke. The way that it comes out is, she can't speak normally. When she talks, she doesn't make complete sentences ... it's sort of like Haiku or something.

Anyway, I enjoyed talking with her. I don't often find older women attractive ... her spirit of swimming a 1/2 mile every day ... let's just say she stands out more in the crowd than a lot of people who have not had strokes.

Hope you make a speedy recovery and have many happy and active years in front of you.

Peace.

A little over a year ago i got out of the hospital after having survived a brain stem stroke.

Thanks in no small part to the well wishes, good vibes and prayers that were prayed by friends and fam here. Physical therapy, statins and pain pills only do so much.

Many times i wanted to just give in to this feeling that my body and brain wanted to curl up and give in to the dead part of my brain. i know that sounds dumb.

anyway, i went from a walker and having to be helped to even go to the bathroom, to using a cane. hey after having been cathed for 2 weeks+, even standing to pee with someone holding you upright is better than getting a little tube ran into your junk.

Now, i can walk, though i stagger a bit. sometimes i walk across the yard as though I've been walking all my life.

9 years to go.
My wife had to quit a pretty good job to take care of me, but if i croak now, it'll be 9 years before she can draw my SS. I'm on Disability having of course lost my job. So i have to live 9 more years till she's 62 'cause i married a woman a bit younger than me or she'll have to go back to work.

Thanks a lot folks who cared, it meant and means more than you could know.


This, as some of you know, is my new hobby. making these stone pipes. gives me something to do. and i wanted to add a pic to an otherwise drab thread. and keep it canna related.

pains getting bad in my leg, that means it's time for bed, goodnight.

Glad to hear life has improved for you. My stepdad (who is 49) had a stroke last year and has been wheelchair bound ever since and is not himself anymore. Sounds like you have an awesome family who really cares about you. Wishing you all the best.
