Be sure to tell him that it is ok if he makes mistakes. As a survivor, I know I make a lot of mistakes. This is a very forgiving group. The Stroke Network has been an important part of my recovery. Hope your husband can join us.

Go for it, he has to start some place, I figure this is the place abd time, congratulations on getting a good waitress this time around. Eating out can be enjoyable for us survivors.

Yippee for Rod! And bless that waitresses heart. That just goes to show that one person can be responsable for setting something good/bad in motion. We all never know what our actions can or will do. I need to remember that in the future!

Just since May this year when Ray had another slight stroke he has had more swallowing difficulties. I find now that when we are eating out we really had to think about what he likes that can be chopped up small enough for him to eat and enjoy.

Aspiration is such a problem if you choke that it takes more effort to eat out when you know that is always a possiblitlty. Good on you both for your fortitude in achieving yet another milestone.

Yes, I'd give the waitress a big tip too!!
