Well, it's almost been a year since my life was changed forever.

All it takes is a stranger to take her eyes off the road and plow into me. My stroke certainly took half of 2007 away but I am very lucky thats all it got! I am feeling very good these days expect for the fact I have severe pains at random times.

It seems there are unexpected that lead me to recover more and more. I watched my nephew learn to walk and decided we would do it together. I was inspired by music more than ever. My wife and family certainly played a huge role in my recovery...

 

There are things I miss like running and skateboarding but I feel confident these things will return. If I can regain sight, touch, and the ability to walk, then I can run!

I am going to look at 2008 as a rebuilding year of sorts, a year to get things straight and accomplish my great return!

So many things to look forward to... life, spending time with family and friends and new albums by the cure and u2! :laughbounce:

hi jet, i'm glad you decided to blog, it helps get you through the road to recovery, or it did for me. i just passed my 6th year mark. a great attitude is needed and you have that already. i know some days you just want to say to hell with it all, but you can't you have to keep going forward even on those bad days. i still have them just not as often. a stroke doesn't mean we can't do anything we want anymore, we just have to do it differently. i wish you the best ever on your recovery and the things you want to be able to do again. you will get there, it just takes time. keep blogging and i too use music to help me on this journey. i grew up in the 60's, boy did i have fun when music was changing so much. i hope to see you in chat sometime, we have alot of fun in there. so stop by sometime.

Thanks all for the encouraging comments. I am well convinced this will be my year.
