hey Wes:

o glad to see you back, happy New Year friend. I am so happy that you have gone back to almost your old self. I did not go back to work since I chose other path of being stay at home mom & I love my new normal equally well. So I feel life is still good just little different on how I achieve my needs and wants.

Hey big guy, I thought you had faded into the life of the rich and moved to California in a 5 million dollar mansion with butlers and maids too.

It's good to see old friends and long time members still doing OK. You got about 40% in your weak hand I got about 5% use but I'm glad I still got my hand. So many of my soldiers return here to Fort Hood, Texas without their hands and legs.

I think it really depends on your age, ability for regrowth of cells, and where in the brain the stroke hit the hardest. It was 7 hours before I got to a hospital after the stroke.

I'm glad to be alive man! I'm glad you are walking, I'm still walking too but use a scooter for distances greater than about 50 feet or so.

Welcome back Wes, good to know you consider you have gone back to what you considered normal prior to the stroke 2 1/2 years ago. I think Ray would have said that two years out from his first stroke, back to work, doing a lot of what he did before.

Make an effort to keep your health in check and you will have many happy and successful years ahead of you.

Sue.

So glad you dropped in Wes. Don't stay away so long. As the years pass their is less for us to talk about in our stroke recovery. I'm 11 years. Don't let that stop you from blogging.
