I m so happy that Rod is getting drive to do things himself maybe it's triggered back again out of love&concern for your well being. I know as we come further away from stroke that will I can do everything slows down a little. Don't stop Rod from keep on trying, he will get new confidence on his weak side, so in end as you know whatever hardship we all go thrpugh is for reason, & be sure its good reason

paying money always sucks but it is necessity on car which allows us to earn money. again paying money is kind of bad luck which we always notice but gaining some money by tax ewfund, we never even consider it

Asha

right now I m paying for my driving lessons through my nose,I finally convinced my hubby to let me drive local&once he feels comfortable I can drive local, lets see whether he actually allows me or not

Asha

Sandy:

that's how I felt in my marriage before my stroke happened& my hubby being there fr me whole time helped immensely, so my viewpoint on my marriage changed completely after my stroke, but man I was so bored of the damn routine in my life, no excitement or anything, and I m dreading even now it has started becoming routine& don't know how to fix it, getting new hubby won't help with my new great look I m nomore a good bet

when you find that 12 step program for addicts, tell me also I will join 2, here in US power does not go off that often but when it does, my heart practically stops, our whole household life comes to stop including watch , can't even turn on cooking range if I don't have matchbox

Asha

Amy:

I have stopped watching any real TV, I find all of their probles so banal, but I would sure watch extreme makeover since you mentioned it, not so sure about desparate housewives name itself sounds so bad, but maybe I will give it a shot today

glad to see your blog

Asha

Amy:

you give me complex, you are such a great person coming up with all these things to keep your kido entertained. I guess I still need to learn patience with kids, I get frustrated with my son sometime when he says I don't understand what you are trying to explain, & it is such obvious thing, right now I m working with him in writing assignments for his NJASK3 test, he is A student(like A-)& I want him to be straight A

Asha

Amy:

your blog gave me good chuckle, I guess in the matter of cleaniless I m more relaxed, and I m glad I can not vaccum anymore, though your blog is pushing me to get involve in cleaning my house but what is next mop the kitchen floor

Asha

hey Sue:

really don't be hard on yourself, you can do your best. when we were on holidays in europe, Imade sure the whole bus is not delayed on my account, so in our room my hubby always woke me 1/2 hour early which generally we have lot of headaches & fights on that issue, but I guess I was on my best behaviour in europe &all of us had great time together, & my hubby is looking forward to our next trip together

Asha

hey Pam:

Ithought you disappeared from east coast& never going to blog again, I was so sad&depressed& I m serious, the day I don't see jean&you I feel all defeated, but u made my day just by blogging. we always pay 15% whether service is good or bad. & I kinda don't appreciate being forced to do more than that. maybe I think its part of their job, & I never got any tip or bonus if I worked hard & on weekends, in my salary it was understood that I do my best& finish my job

Asha

hey Kristen:

I m so proud of you, you are such a go getter, & dynamic person. first anniversary always bring on lot of memory, but it also gives great outlook on how far you both have come along, my hubby still gets the chlls when my son called from my mom's house telling him to rush at my mom's home, its emergency. stroke is life changing event, and we all come out of it lot stronger&wiser.

Happy 1st anniversary

Asha

hey :

so I can blame all my flirtation to chemicals in brain, how convienant

Asha

Kristen:

In my case when I was still in acute care, my family will always dicuss everything&my hubby would make decisions after telling me all pros&cons. though afterwards when situation wasn't acute anymore he was my caregiver, now I keep him in loop, I think it will be alright with his parents if you nicely tell them, could you please keep me in loop. I agree with Butch I m sure my mom would have butted in if she knew any english, though she kept on blaming me & doctors for my stroke.

anyway I know you already know they don't mean any malice, they r just trying to help, you can always tell them in very nice way that you would appreciate if they keep you informed about aeverything about patrick

Asha

awwwwwwwwwwwwww

how cute bonnie. I should do the same thing for my honey,and he is so easy to please

isn't it great when everything is going on as routine

happy valentine's day

Asha

hey Butch:

I love reaing your blogs, they sound so honest, and I sometime feel I m reading diary of my hubby who went through all when I was in ICU. hey keep us updated on your marathon , I was in such a lala land while in hospital I was betting that after all this is done I will run marathon, I m noway close to running any marathon, I guess I will walk a marathon if people still stay at the end cheering me on

hey another suggestion, maybe you can get treadmill for lisa, that way she can do her walking indoor. I read in some journal walking 40mins atleast 3 times a day, helps in recovery of stroke, since my all therapy has ended. I atleast walk every day for 40 mins with very slow speed

Asha

Amy:

you are so funny. that dog is better than my kido who is bilingual but can't talk back, so its alwys hilarious to see him communicate with my mom in english& 3 different indian language. yup I agree college days were so great& funfilled, and I m so happy that yor life after stroke is also as happy. sorry can't come up with intelligent comments, I m hungry.

Asha

kristen:

Asha

hi D of L

I didn't know you were suppose to write only helpful or thoughtful things, we would love to read your blogs, I m kind of nosy person wants to see what everyone is dealing in their life, it could be normal, not so normal, anything, just something you would like to get off your chest, or maybe you are like me who just likes to blabber and like to read people' s comments on it.

so cmon now we r bunch of good people here

Asha

Amy:

such a cute story, brought smile on my face. my kido rhymes my belly with jely and my butt which is larger than pizza hut. I love ur girl's innocence, give lot of hugs and kisses from her cyber aunt to her

Asha

Sue:

lots of hugs to you, I was the one who used to love dancing before though not western, now I guess that's what I will be able to do in arms of my hubby, and I m looking forward to it, dancing together, cheek to cheek with our kido right in the middle feels like good experience. though won't be able to do my jumping jack style indian dance for awhile.

sometime life gives us lemon we have to make lemonade out of it
