Kris, Ray had his first stroke while we were on holidays in Queensland in 1990, his second and third in Bendigo ( they were the major ones which retired us both) in 1999 so I know what it is like to be far from home and in trouble. He has had two more since closer to home thank goodness and has some major health problems now but somehow we bounce back again.

We have had amazing support over the years , often from most unexpected sources ( like our friends here at Strokenet) and although life sometimes isn't wonderful it is ALL GOOD. I think it is all about attitude and how you try to make life come back to a "new normal"again.

Welcome to blogwold. We are like family , sharing each others troubles, triumphs, tears and laughter. So read all the blogs and reply as you are able to relate to what the blogger is going through.

You are doing well and I loved your photos. I have only just learned to add photos after three years on the site. Call me a slow learner I guess.

Cheers, new friend.

Sue.

Kris,

Welcome to the blog Community. Blogging is such a wonderful way for everyone to become further acquainted and to share all of our ups and downs. Not only are we blessed to be survivors but to have this wonderful group to call "family".

Jessie is absolutely adorable.

hey Kristen:

welcome to this wonderful world of blogging. I find blogging hugely therupetic for readers as well as for writers. while reading other's blogs I realize I am not alone in this journey & I don't feel I have been singled out for this horrific post stroke journey. & as a writer I feel immense pleasure in reliving best moments of my life & not discard them or take them for granted.

I hope you stick around on these site & stick with blogging, it will help you as well as others.

Welcome

Hey, you are really doing well if this is only your third visit to Stroke Net and you are blogging. You are definitely computer literate.

Another challenge we may share...two teenage boys 2 years apart - makes life interesting - doesn't it?
