I been reading blogs and comments on the message board so I'm just saying something and maybe reminiscing a little! In my little mind I just don't think I will get back to the person I was prior to the stroke But I am happy with what I got back already if I don't get anymore back. I will not quit working on my recovery and therapy for sure because I know darn well that helps and got me to where I am now!!

I read on here where so many survivors want to be like they were before the stroke and they say they can't take anymore! I think we just have to be realistic in that we lost a lot in a matter of seconds or minutes but it takes a life time to recover whether it's fully or just a little bit! I know it depends on what each person has lost or can't do any more what they want to do with both sides of their body! We all know each stroke can be very different as well as recovery and how long it takes!!

That being said, when I read Nancy's blog about the motor home I wanted to cry because I want to have that life again but I can't now in my condition! My wife keeps saying we ain't getting another motor home and if we do later on it will be a small one! So I had stopped thinking and dreaming about owning one again!! I'll be satisfied just getting better in walking and moving my body around better than I do now! The rest is history but when I read it here it hits me really hard! I probably won't be bowling again either as a Pro like I was! Life goes on!

I'm still a happy camper and give my wife much credit for my thinking about life after stroke! We still got a life to live with what we got left! I'll just keep drinking the lemonade from the lemons I got!!
