thank you all for your kind and wise words. i had my stroke in 2004 and i am trying my best to accept it. i have a very tough time trying to deal with the severe spasms and tremors; it's hard to do even the simplest of things...that's why i get so frustrated! i do count my blessings and realize i could have it much worse. i've been on this site for quite sometime and like what i see. i know when i need encouragement that i'll get it here.
