    Bring it

    Bring It, says your Blog so I will as I read all of what you speak about and I must say God has blessed you..... Your daughter is getting out on her own, you and your hubby has gone in different directions, your health has held up, your mind is still good, you talk to your mom often, and your mindset is good in getting your body in shape like you want it to be.... I been there done that and can feel you in your process after a stroke.....Keep God in your process He is your strength in all you do every day and you will see and feel your body and life in general will make the adjustments you need..... Trust me it works and I'm in my fourth marriage for 20 years now so experience I got..... I would not tell you wrong.... If there is anything I can say to help you along in your journey let me know....... All the best to you in your life.....
  4. I'm so happy to report my wife is better walking, sleeping, and being herself again.... God is good all the time!!!!! So all I can think of is take her to some place she loves and enjoys being there..... She even got up this morning and went to early morning Glory service at church driving herself in my car of course........ That place will be the Casino since they have already sent me an email for two free nights at the Hotel...... She was cleared by her doctor this week and all the gear she was using was turned in so she can wear regular clothes and shoes again and return to work full time.... God Is Good All The Time!!!! I send my Thanks for All Your Prayers and Best Wishes they were all good, thank you all!!!!! Thank You, Thank You.......
  5. Just pray to God He will see over her and keep her safe as you are doing what all or most mothers do so don't worrie just pray and leave it all in Gods hands, He will handle it.....
  6. I'm not sure I could have handled living in a nursing home or a facility and glad my wife brought me home to survive with her by my side.....
  7. As I sit here at home now and my wife has finished all her hospitalization and surgeries I feel it's time to go to the casino again..... It may have to be on the week ends since she is trying to also return to work at the bank while she is feeling much better..... She needs to be moving around and walking some to get her strength back...... We shall see what goes in the next few days......
  8. Asha, I am as thankful as you are for all the years and I'm still above ground........ A big Blessing from God!!!!!
  9. We are all grateful in many ways for sure and I'm glad my wife made it home and able to do things for herself now and going back to work too...... What a big blessing to me......
  10. Yea they are fine and keep me company all day so I take them riding on the scooter some days when it's warm they love that being with me.......
  11. Ruth, I hope soon I can get back to Houston to see William and you at home so you two can meet my wife as you already met my daughter I had with me when we stopped in to meet you and William a few years ago now.... All the best to both of you until we can get that way to stop in for a visit hopefully soon..... I will let you know when so I will check with you for sure....
  12. I'm thankful I can sit at my kitchen table and read your post and not be hurting all over my body....

    Meeting Sarah

    How nice for the both of you to have vacationed on the big Island and had a joyous time......
  14. Asha, I think I got about the same amount of years of being a stroke survivor counting from 2004 when I suffered the stroke..... I am just as grateful as you are to have made it this long and can do all of what I do I'm so thankful to God and my wonderful wife...... All the best to you and your family..... We both can say we have come a long way....... I'm paralyzed on left side but I'm alive and well.....
  15. Jay, The big thing is you trying to handle a table and of course the two or four chairs too riding a bus!!!!! You will need a friend with a vehicle to handle that request from your daughter in my opinion having done the same thing for my daughter not long ago..... Thank God I drive and had my SUV......
  16. It's been so long since I last blogged I have almost forgotten how or what to do in writing a blog..... Then again it appears the site has made a few changes too....... Well to start with I'm doing pretty good considering after suffering a big stroke years ago and I'm still around to be on Stroke Net posting..... I really hope all of you I know are doing pretty good too as we all will try to do the best we can long as we can by the grace of God above.... I don't get on site like I once did so perhaps many of you all will not know nor remember who I am but I been on here since 2005 a year after my stroke.... Yea I'm still claiming it because I shall never forget having a stroke much as I want to forget but just can't get it out of my mind nor body..... With my left side still paralyzed and I forget things along the way there is just no way I shall ever not remember the stroke I had while home alone and the six months I spent in the hospital not knowing if I would live or die....... I'm sure we got many new members now that I never met or know about or them knowing about me.... In fact I still remember when I was a new volunteer on this site back in 2007.... So I still got a bit of my old mind intact for all I been faced with over the years and after the stroke while home alone..... All of us members can be thankful we found this wonderful site to communicate with others just like us...... Obviously I don't get around much lately on my scooter nor travel as I once did but I'm a lot older now and for sure a bit slower with age..... There is no known cure for strokes that I know about so they will no doubt be around for a long time to come.... Can't you just Imagine a pill years from now you can take to prevent you from ever suffering a stroke?????? As we all know strokes are crippling in many ways from talking, walking, memory and just living after suffering a stroke of any kind..... But through it all by the grace of God many people survive and live their lives long after the stroke they suffered at some point in their life.... I'm so thankful to our CEO and Founder Steve for his creation of this stroke site some years ago now..... Hopefully I will still be around to post and comment about strokes and survival years from now........ Who knows what the future holds for all of us young or old????
  17. Well the time has come again to blog a little bit.....I suppose things went as well as I could expect since I wasn't very active toward the end of the year.... Now 2017 is upon all of us and I wish all the best for every member here.... Well my wife is back at work at the bank and driving too but I did pick her up last week but her doctor say she will be OK driving herself again.... So I will stay by her side until she has her thyroid problem fixed which should be this coming week at the same hospital but not taking as long now.... She is just about ready to start doing things for herself again I think.... More next time.....

    Hello 2017

    There is nothing like traveling around and seeing so much and meeting people.....
  19. The RV world is a good place to explore I did it for years until I sold it and bought a new home we had built and got off the travel scene for good..... It would have been too much after a stroke.....

    Hello 2017

    More power to you and great goings in your health and recoveries soon.... I'm waiting on more recovery for my conditions too.....
  21. Asha, now you should feel good knowing you are just normal like the rest of us stroke survivors..... At one time early on I thought I would conquer this stroke but I haven't yet it still got a hold on me at my age now.... Only God knows how much longer....
  22. The things some people do is amazing....... The Mind is a terrible thing to lose.....
  23. All the best to the two of you should you find the time to go in the RV again soon... I sure did enjoy mine but had to sell it when this stroke came calling my name and lively hood.... I'm down to my SUV and my scooter I haul everywhere I go since the stroke 13 years ago now....
  24. Sue, I have read your blog several times now and I gotta ask you, but you are not obligated to answer at all.... Do you feel now that you will ever have another male friend that you feel close to as in a husband like Ray was?????? I'm in my fourth marriage now at 75 years of age and at times I wonder what if??? What if something happens to her would I ever have another woman in my life???? I just can't come up with the answer to my question..... Sex is not everything but I wonder when a man is finished with that side of a marriage???? Any answers or suggestions you can text me or email at fking1@hot.rr.com Thanks for your answer......
  25. Hey Lenny I hope you still got my number if not send me an email I will give it to you again......
