Sue:

It is always pleasure to read your blog, I have somehow addicted to blogs, I don't care much about message board, I guess I don't think I have gathered enough wisdm yet to give it to others.

Asha

Amy:

I did mistake and told my few good friends about my blog and now I regret it cause have to be very careful about what I write, and this happens to be my work friends talk about stupidity

Asha

Fred:

your blog sounded like quiz, at the end of it even I forgot where you kept your car keys. I guess I can use this blog to quiz my son about car keys

I think you can train your mind to follow 1 rule which is finish first what you have set it out to do before picking up other ctivity

Asha

hey scooterman:

call me selfish or whatever I m generally not interested in finding out how to prevent it, I want them to cure it, I reached in hospital in 1/2 hour of my stroke and they never administered the wonder drug TPA they all list so highly on in all magazines. so what interests me is how to reverse the effect of stroke or cure it

Asha

Steph:

nice to see you blog, I have never kept journal in my whole life but I kinda like blogging it makes me see my journey through all my dark, good and spiritual days, and I love reading great people's comments on it.

Jean:

I call my forgetfulness Dorrie syndrom,which is rare(thank God)

Asha

hey AJ:

I m glad you had great night with ur nephew. I have 3rd grader at our own home who also has wicked sense of humor, so life is never dull in our house. actually while praying in night he never prays for mom's recovery, he thinks then I will be back to work again and not be able to spend time with him and I will become more powerful such that he will loose all his physical fights with me. everyday he invents new games which he can play with his mom and ofcourse that has to involve pushing mommy down and pinch her while she tries to kiss him. he calls it pinching butt and slobbering kisses games

I love to watch all kiddy movies with my son, its always our snuggle time in our papasan chair

Asha

hey Sheila:

great attitude, expectation from anyone else always brings unhappiness, if you want roses, you can go and buy yourself, liked the idea I m going to implement in my life.

asha

suzie_q:

life just begins at 30, I was 34 when I stroked, but I guess I was more settled in my normal rotine which had started to bore me, stroke turned everything upside down, and I was ready to die for my normal routine, atleast I am there in family handling capacity, career wise not there yet but I don't care anymore, I was software engineer for 10 yearsb4 stroke changed path of my life for better, now I m wprking part time and stay at home mom, and I love it to the core

Asha

Amy:

my stroke had made me pretty giving when he first lost his teeth at 7, and ofcourse I missed at cause I was in hospital so toothfairy gave him $7 bucks. I used to joke with kido if we ever want to go to movie wiggle your few teeths out and he can sponser our movie in matiny show

you are going to have great time with your family this weekend

Asha

Lynn:

having uncertainity in lifedoes that. I was hugely depressed after my stroke, loosing control of my life was huge adjustment, but what helped me adjust to my new reality is my complete surrender on higher power. he will take care of me, if God has brought this to me, he will make sure I get through it also, maybe its called hope.

Asha

ok Pam:

I will blame it on your PMS and not on my IQ to understand such a deep thing. In school we had learnt 1 beautiful scripture and it has stayed with me for 20 years, I remember only line but I think it does make lot of sense. without hope man can not win any race in life, he is basically handicapped without hope.I know for me that false hope or true hope was one of the reason to give shot at life, ofcourse other reason was my kido

Asha

hey Gary:

glad you asked for virtual hugs, I thought you would never ask:friends: ^infinity. and here I thought you never had any bad days always good days

Asha

hey AJ:

great list, with so many positives in your life, don't you wonder sometime why we still complain. when I started blogging, I had also made list of 10 things my stroke gave me. I could go on with positives things my stroke gave me it completly outweigh negative points.

I am glad you are taking on this exercises it's great way towards acceptance, those are few things which I did helped me a lot It made me see myself in whole new light.

Asha

Sheila:

great blog and reminder for me also, we all have to leave the way we want to, it should bw to prove it to ourselves and not others, beautiful point and nicely written

Asha

Hey AJ:

start counting your blessing and don't worry about how long and stuff, you are here for a reason and be very thankful for lot of abilities you still have. Since I have physical limitation I sometime think cognative issues can be worked on, its like learning new stuff since childhood, but no so sure of my gross &fine motor skills, my stroke left me paralysed on left side, I think big plus in my life is that I can walk and apart from driving pretty much independant,and also I have great hubby&kido

Asha

Mary:

I read your blog few times but still can't come up with assuring words other than wow, you have been going through a lot lately. I know stroke itself is big pill for family to swallow, and you have gotton much more, hang in there, there has to be reason behind this madness. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers

Asha

Hey Vicky:

My husband is big time cricket fan, I like to watch it too if India is playing and winning, though my hubby was raving about what a fight SA gave to australia, he was mentioning something about 800+ combined runs in 100 overs by both teams. If you don't like Ponting then I m your best friend, he had played so great against India in world cup where India lost big time

Asha

Marty:

we missed your humor and wisdon so much here, I still get confused how many member names you still have, its marlen,007. have you decidedwhich member name you are going to use it

I for one is addicted to this site &thankful my stroke to lead me to this site and great people with it

Asha

Simon:

welcome to blog community, hope to know you better through your blogs, I know I should keep my mouth shut, but I am one of those immigrants you don't like who has come to america and with lot of hard work and post gradute studies settled in america for better way of life. I guess if my job will be in jeopardy because of globalization, maybe I won't like those people in eastern russia and 3rd world country, but I think its such a big piece of pie everyone who works hard to get part of it, should be okay.

Asha(36 yo india born survivor in US)

Pam:

since I always wear brace outside, some people do ask what happened and sometime I just say accident, not that I am ashamed of stroke but saying stroke leads to another list of questions, oh you are 2 young, and what caused it, and telling about pregnancy and all that stuff becomes too painful for me so I like accident answer, people seem to just shutup and don't ask 2 many questions. I know as sandy had mentioned once acceptance is every day struggle, I m so glad you are doing better everyday, you are my inspiration in lot of things particularly the way you handle your stroke without any external support, and I vale your insights &comments on my internal struggle blogs

Asha

hey AJ:

Asha

Jean:

Asha(stll learning &fumbling in the role of mom)

Asha

hey Mary:

congratulation on successful heart surgery, isn't medical field great, they used to do this surgery before by doing open heart surgery and now 10 mins and such a noninvasive way, actually I did my heart surgery while I was still in day rehab doing 3 days a week therapy, I think I had taken 2 weeks off from therapy & continued on, compare to stroke I had thought heart surgery was piece of cake

very happy for you

Asha

sue:

my positive thouhts in your direction, but I think whatever decision you will make, it will be the best decision, you have been making decision for Ray all the time so buying car will be small potato.

your bargaining on washer reminded me of India, where every thing you buy have to be bargained. I use to hate those experiences, lot of time I would feel paid 2 high, so in USa where you don't bargain, it was such a great relief

Asha
