Sue: I agree with Bonnie, you are creating wonderful memories with yur grandkids, yes it hurts that you didn't get to do whay you would have liked to do but I am sure being with your S-I-L was much more rewarding than that massage. I loved your first paragraph about life nothing is forever good and bad and e better cherish each moment in it. Asha

Kimmie: your tone can be addressed with botox and then go for walkaide. I am glad your Tonya is doing good post surgery. Happy Thanksgiving to you too and I am surprised you and Donna still friends even while supporting arch rivals. I guess we need to thank stroke for that. I will be rooting for both teams since I want to be friends with both of you. Asha

Kathy: I can't believe you are new to blogging, your blogs are very interesting, it's always fun reading your blog. I am happy Berry is alright and I too worry about it, but I think if I can handle stroke, I bet I can handle anything. your generating new income was funny and I bet keeping in a jar and at the end of year will find surprising results. there is one thing I read someplace " don't worry about the thing you don't have any control over it" real estate market has slowed down, but hasn't busted, so houses might stay longer in the market but they do sell out. Asha

hey Bonnie: glad Tracy is doing good, BTW who took credit for dishwasher working again? sounds like Jon deserves pat on back for still trying, I wuld have given up long time back Asha

hey Lucy: thanks for heads up, I was going to make holiday project with kido so good you updated us. thanks, Asha

hey Bonnie: glad everything went smoothly, my niece got her gallbladder removed while she was pregnant. any surgery is stressful, but after gallbladde it's just lifestyle change for little while. she is lucky to have parents like you and fiance who cares so much about, one lucky girl. when one is sick we realize how much having family close by means. glad she can depend on you. now you can chill for a week. Asha

Ann: lots of good wishes for you, take time for urself now before the whole nineyard of caregiving begins Asha

hey sherry: congratulations on your two year anniversary, you have come really far in your journey, getting new job post stroke now that is something to be proud of. we are all proud of you. living independently will be big boost too, I have never done it and I am even scared to even think about it. Asha

hey Dale: welcome to our wonderful world of blogging, by coming here often & writing ur daily thoughts and reading others struggle u will realize you are not alone, I get hugely inspire by reading others blogs and also realizing my glass is more than half full. your coach is right you survived this horrific event of our life and we don't want that event to define us, but v need to redefine ourselves as survivor ready to wage war on life. I feel like warrior sometimes than survivor Asha

hey George: your blogs are always inspiration to me, and getting joy out of those simple things are making your glass more than half full. Asha

Susan: I will be prayng for that little baby and I am sure he will do fine. I don't understand these kind of guys who hit woman and also woman who still choose to be with them and have babies with them, I guess these kind of woman has real low selfesteem thinking they can't dp any better. Asha

hey Donna: your both girls look lovely. you are one strong woman, trying to figure out and fight the system god luck in medical trnsporttion, even redcross also provides medical reansportation, and their volunteers are better. Asha

Jean: I am glad that your total disaster had turned into mere inconvience with timing. today I had frusraion with my onetouch can opener though I gave away my problem to hubby to get me out of mess again, and ofcourse he did it. what would I do without my caregiver, my soulmate, my hubby. Asha

hey clark: I don't like to comment on political views since everybody has their own view on situation. I too sometime sulk at the way Indian government runs the country, things I view as suffering is way of life for many in those countries. same is true for this country, not everything will be perfect, but there are lot of things which works in this prt of world, though lot of problems has been created in rest of the world by these so called advanced countries. I am glad blogging is helping you as good therapy. Maybe steve should start charging Asha

hey Karen: so happy to see your blog, it is always nice to know my friends are doing good, your job in northslope sounds interesting but everything in Alaska is different and interesting. we had great time in cruise. we saw all the wild animals, saw lot of salmons, lot of whales, dolphins and few bears too. It was awesome trip going to last me for few years til I take another memorable vacation, I was too cold there to go and chill on the deck in the night sky to see those stars. hubby & kido would love to go Alaska again some day, I think I will convince them to go in summer. Asha

Doug: I am sorry you are having down day today, don't let others judging you get to you, only God knows the truth & can judge us. it does not matter what your parents or whole world think of you as long as you think good about yourself and love yourself, you don't have to prove anybody wrong or right. I know advice is easy to give, but don't let ignorant ppl hurt you anyways. lot of hugs Asha

Jean: such a cute wonderful love story, it made me all teary and thankful about having found my own soulmate in my life who without his speech issues can still drive me nuts though I feel immensely fortunate to have him in my life. Asha

hey Vicky: congratulations, this is bigger than gigantic news, better than wearing those shoes, so happy for you. we will have to have baby shower here in our chat room, and you will have to tell us what are you going to have. Asha

hey Donna: you Kristi is growing up fast and pretty soon there will be guys outside your door courting her out. I am so happy that bag is working out good for you. these small accomplishments do wonders to our independence and selfesteem, I know it did it to mine. Asha

hey Ken: sorry to hear about your friend's losses. we all have come to this world with return ticket and have to make best out of every single day, so that we have created lasting memories for friends and families. I love treadmill, first time when I had tried they had put harness on me, and PT was making sure my leg placements were correct, though I have since stuck with treadmill, that's the only thing I can do without any pain. so keep at it, and you will get it there. Asha

Bonnie: you amaze me no end, pre or post stroke I never even try to fix any appliances or household things and even discourage him, so we depend on our PSE&G worryfree contract, the come and fix things, or else you end up buying energy efficent new appliances. Asha

Doug: you did spook me up on halloween day. Asha
