Well, I'm thankful for my last birthday and being able to do everything I can. Almost back to normal. The left vocal cord is paralyzed from the operation but, the right side compensated, so at least I can talk. Left side on the face and neck still has some numbness. The ENT said that if I have fairly clear arteries to do all within my power to keep them clear. If the right side was to need clearing out, there would be problems with breathing and swallowing. So, still trying my best to eat healthy and get MRA's of the carotid arteries on a rouyine basis. So far, So Good!

Thankful to God, Family, Friends, and the folks on Strokenet. Trying my best to get to the site at last once in a while !
