    Howdy..<br /> I stroked April Fools Day of 2000... not a good april fools joke! I have been doing much better than the naysayers predicted.<br /> Most of my recovery has been done by trial and error.. a lot of errors. I couldn't drive for 2 years but when I got my license back I kept the motorcycle endorsement. Don't make me tell you about my motorcycle adventure a few years ago.. <br /> I was concerned about some issues and returned to school to see if I could still think.. I finished school and passed the national registry tests for EMT and gained licensure here.. Nobody will hire me because I'm a liability.. Oh well, school was interesting.<br /> I have spent the last few years since the stroke doing hybridization and genetic modification (polyploids) in Hemerocallis (daylilies). I've produced some interesting hybrids and will continue to pursue my breeding program.. I've built a greenhouse and am in the process of erecting another.<br /> All this from someone who wasn't ever supposed to walk unassisted again. Never give up!!

    Fufillment

    Hey Pam......I could be a "biker type" ..........and I don't wear spandex except for special occasions. You do just fine with philosophy too, it just takes more time to chew it and get it digested.
  7. Howdy Denny WOW I had never even considered that some folks might be offended by my posts. I hope not, but I'm just posting my reality on the board. I couldn't walk at first, and my left side was useless. I have come a long way in the past five years. Now I can walk and drive and I even ride a motorcycle. Perhaps some folks have not made the progress that I have made, but I post to attempt to get survivors to keep on trying! We are all different and will all have different recoveries too. I just am too stubborn to stop trying. Now I'm wondering if some survivors perceive my posts as being arrogant. I'm nobody special and I never intend to offend anyone (except with my humor). I know that depression has played a part in my recovery and I imagine that most of us have 'bad' days. I am not aware of the incident that you refer to in your blog. Maybe it was the result of someones bad day. Heck, most everyone else who isn't a survivor perceives me as being somewhat different. I figure we survivors should cut one another some slack.. I am pleased of someone does better than me, it gives me a goal to aim for.. sometimes my aim isn't too good but I'll keep on shootin' til the ammo's gone bill

    What a Wonderful world

    Hi Pam...I sing this song and people look at me like I'm nuts (maybe I am) I have only heard the Louis Armstong version I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself, what a wonderful world I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself, what a wonderful world sometimes I change the words a bit but the meaning stays the same I heard some folks mention blogs in chat and started looking around I hope that you don't mind
