hi Soo: I agree with Ann & Jane completly. I just want to tell you don't project too far in future. your dad's condition will improve a lot nothing is constant. only change is constant. I suffered stroke at age 34 which left me paralysed on my left side. the first 2 years were the hardest specially first 6-12 months were make-or break period. There were so many changes at all levels of our life. I never knew whether we will make it or not. but I am here to tell you we did make it. My Stroke was just bump in my life's journey. There IS still good life after stroke it's just little different. Asha

hey leppy: your blogs are so honest I feel like you are reading my mind in begining years of my stroke. I will tell you this since I am standing at the end of tunnel. things will become easier. don't you ever feel bad or guilty of getting off lightly. each of us has our own burdens to carry & none of us can judge others burden as better or worse. God gives us all strength to carry our burdens. I enjoy your blogs. Asha

Fred: this is so true last year ny times best seller book "the secret" was all about that concept only. next time you say anything negative about VA or your health I will hold you accountable & ask you to do 10 pushups or write another blog with 10 positives in your life. Asha

Jeannie: I pray rain stops for you guys soon. When we worry about our small inconviences in life, it is important to remember there r so many far worse of than us. though I understand there r so many far better off than us. So comparison doesn't help. we have to play with our hand the best we can that's the right choice. Asha

kimmie: :congrats: for becoming gramma again & maye congrats for gypsy. now you can post jake & evan's pictures together LOL Asha

hi karen: sorry about your fall. but you got right attitude. some one once said " brick walls are there in life. it is there not to stop you but to find out how badly you want things" If you want to do something badly nothing can stop you not even your fall. my mom had knee surgery & after PT she is doing better every day. though now you & your grandson can go for PT together.
