Hi Kathy, I say go for it. It sounds like you have a wonderful husband who cares about you a lot. Yes it may tire you out for a few days afterword, but think of the wonderful memories you 2 will create. If needed take along a wheelchair or rent one at the museum, this way you will not have to walk as much. It is easy for us to get into our comfort zones. I try to challenge myself every chance I get. You will be surprised at what you can accomplish. Been There Done That. Challenge Yourself Best Wishes Hank

Hey Kathy, Congratulations on finding your condo. Welcome back to good old New England and our ever changing weather. Like they always say, if you don't like the weather just wait a day and it will change. LOL. Hope all goes well with the closing. Hank

My fathers day gift from my son. This one was about 44 inches long. My son caught the largest 47 inches, 38 pounds. I am a 62 year old stroke survivor. I had my stroke on December 9, 2004. I did not have any symptoms before hand. I woke up at 530am as usual and my left arm felt as though I had slept on it. But when I got out of bed my left foot also felt the same. I told my wife that we had better go to the hospital. I was able to walk to the car and upon arriving at the emergency room 10 minutes later they had to get a wheel chair for me. While in the hospital I had total paralysis on the left side, unable to even sit up. Three days later I went to Gaylord Rehab Hospital for therapy. They worked wonders as 3 weeks later I was able to walk out with just a cane. My wife has been wonderful throughout the whole process. I joked with her as it was her birthday on December 10th. I told her it was a heck of a birthday present for her having to spend all her time with me in the hospital. She said that it was the best present as I was still with her. I feel blessed to have a wife like Helena as she has been great with me and my mood swings. I could not ask for anyone better. I have not been able to return to work as I get very tired and fatigued in a short time. I worked at Home Depot as a divisional trainer for the associates. I still have weakness in the left arm, and also still wear a brace on my left foot. I have tried walking with a walking stick instead of the cane around the house with some success.
