Second day is over and I have to go back on day 3. He may think I can finish day 3. I'm tired and I have another headache.
We did alot today (reading/writing etc...)
I did better on the boston word names. I think maybe 80% but I've done those words 4 time already.
He asked me in the most words that start with "F" (one minute). I can only say 8 words. He tried "a" and I got 4. He tried "s" and I got 4 words. Wow
He had me to repeat with a small sentence (5 words). I couldn't d
Wow, I started the neurophysc test yersterday and wow. I started about and hour of talking about my history and my car accident. I got tired already. I was talking about eating and I couldn't say the word "sandwhich", it took me 5 minutes to remember the word. I kept say"first is a bread, then it's salmon then another peice of bread" then I said "what's that word for it". He left me to say the word. I havn't had that problem for awile. I've been really good on my speech but wow I was lost. The f
Well, i'm done unpacking in my new live. I live back in Burlington in a two bedroom. I live in the second floor and my parents live in the 7th floor. My wife brought Budweiser (Bud for short) to myself last sunday. I havn't blogged in awhile as the last few months have been really hard. I've got my cablem hooked up last sunday so i'm back online. I see my family doctor tomorrow and my neurophycs start new week. They said it will take 6 hours over 2-3 days in Hamilton. Anyway, type at ya's later.
Well, what can I do other than a laff.
My wife came home after work so I took here car out for a drive. I didn't get far (not even out of my drive way). The car wouldn't start. :yikes: I talked to my wife and say that it was better that the car died in the driveway instead of me out somewhere. We just laffed. So my wife and I walked over to the bar and had a couple of good cold beer. :Cheers:
I got up this morning and seen that the racoons tried to get in my attic through the ve
Today is my first anniversary. What a year, scary/frustration etc.. but I made it.
I started the morning by walking to timmy's for a coffee. I use to buy one every morning on my way to get a coffee going to work, but I didn't make it that day. I went there (my first one in a year on my self) with my sweater that I wore during my accident. I didn't were my coat also because there is still blood on it as well it is nice out :big_grin: .
After that, I walked over to loafers lake (5 mi
Well I the day before of mt stroke. It is so far but yet, so soon before that happened. The different is, I'm a year older and the weather is so nice out. What one of happened if I didn't go to work that day? How would I feel about right now? I'll never know.
I was with my boss the other day doing some errands so I went along (not like have anything to do :giggle: ). I talking to him and I said that I really not sure if i've really accepted my stroke. I really don't know. I lost my left ha

I get this morning waking myself up at 5:30am but the birds chirpping this morning. I loked over and Bud is looking at the window. I think he wanted to go out and play. :giggle: . After looking at the window, I set
Well yesturday was a great (but very tired) day. My wife left me the car yesturday so I can go out on my self (I've done before but it's scary). I've been trying this that last few weeks going on my own (as the neurologist said I should do some stuff alone). Since my accident/stroke, it was always me and my wife (my caregiver) going out to do stuff. Well, it's time for me to start being the most normal as I can. I can do almost everything now, it's just my talking now.
Okay, I left my hous
Welcome to Spring :hahaha:
It was -8c over night and -1c now as I write at 10:00am. Oh yell, we've had a warm winter here in Toronto (overall). Bud missed the snow, he loves making snowangels, he is so funny.
Well, it's Monday the 20, 2006. My speech therapy called me this morning as she is sick today. It's the wiierd weather. Why do we call this WEATHER, it's more think WHATEVER. Last Sunday we were at +16c, what a day. I can't wait.
I think i've got PND (post nasal drip). I
Well here is my second blog here at stroke net. I've got another blog on the internet at a game area (i've been on this for about 3 years and know the same people) but noone writes anymore. I feel this blog is much better here for me as I can follow my recovery better (as much as I can get).
I had speech this morning (Mondays and Fridays am) and I showed this place to her. She was so happy that I found this place. I gave here the website site so she can pass this to other people who has a s
Well, this blog is a great way to help yourself get better. I found this stroke boards yesterday and I was like "WOW, this is a great place". I can write/chat etc.. with others that understand what I've gone through.
Now I'm waiting for my eye's checked in April, i've been complaining since my accident and none of he neuro doctor would do a thing. I had to go to my family doctor to look after it. Maybe they wanted to wait for my brain to settle down. And I'm also waiting for a neuropsych te
