Yesterday was my 3 year mark since my stroke and my 53rd birthday. Last year I just wanted to be left alone. However, this year I decided to take my birthday back. Actually, it is more of an anniversary of my rebirth. I have learned so much, and seem to be able to be more focused on what is going on around me.

I didn't have a party of any kind. Just my good friend Anne, and Teddy of course. I would rather have one close friend with me than a roomful of people who really only care for themselves.

I did get some good news today. Thanks to the help from all of you next week I will be seing my Dr and hopefully get an order for a new KAFO. Thanks again to all who gave me suggestions.
