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

hi suzieq: welcome to our blog community urfe venting machine, for longest and even now after 2 years I still vent about my raw deal, hey I m just 36, you will meet lot of young survivors here, who r going through what u r going through. I can tell you from my own perspective life will become once more fun, it will be little different but hey u r still here to enjoy it. you can always IM me or any other young survivors. here on this site we have great set of people with their warmth& wisdom. Asha

hey Amy: Happy Birthday& wish you great 30s and I bet your 30s will be great with so much wisdom gathered with stroke, and I consider ur 20s were great, u had cute baby girl, & darn it u survived the stroke lots of love& hugs from ur friend Asha

Gary: I m so glad to read your blog and finding out you are doing ok, nowadays I have kinda stopped coming to chat, thugh I come online to read blogs, since I m addicted to blogs. we got all the snow you were suppose to get it, so we chiled at home today. hope your daughter is doing good, hope to c u in chat sometime bye, be well and take care 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: wow I should also go& fold my laundry instead og writing blog, but i m hooked to strokenet, my probem is I can not organize once someone creates space for me, I might clean it, that's my ezxcuse to not cleaning. LoL Asha

Pam: missed you and your blogs and comments, was so excited to see your blog, though turn out to be disappointment, but will cheer for steelars, don't watch any football or baseball. but start blogging woman, I miss you Asha

Mary: its nice to see you blog, yes and we do need help from people like you, who is able to move on with life, how you did it would be good blog to write:) I hope you find reasons of your tiredness quickly asha

Amy: wow, such a great list, I m speechless, you are way ahead in me girl, I still sometime think of material things, yes it is bad things has to happen, but yes happiness comes from within, I should pinup this blog on my computer, and your hubby is lucky chap 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 Asha

Amy: that's great, I have never filed our taxes or looked into any financial stuff ever, since my hubby is CPA, he used to take care of all financial stuff still we buy turbotax program and its very easy, so last year he allowed me to enter datas, rest was all automatic. after my stroke now I atleast know where is our money since i started handling mail, we do not do any online banking Asha

hey Amy: my son calls our physical game as therapy hour, where he pushes me down while he tries to pinch my butt, I try to kiss him, those therapy did work a lot, I can easily sleep on my tummy now and roll on floor, change sides, things have become quite easy for me now. its wonder of having boy they like to play all physical games Asha

kristen: as a survivor viewpoint, time will becom good again, you both will do things you love once again maybe differently Asha

hey MM: I agree with jean, tell him to give you big hug or omething which he can contribute. it will make him feel also useful. Asha

hey: I thought the blog will be depressing but turned out to be quite encouraging, yes I agree with all your examples and in 2004 when I went to India(I m from India), and saw so much difference btween rich and poor, as if poor people had no right of living, and only rich people can live normal life, all my troubles seemed so small that time Asha

Sue: I love to read your blogs too, it comes out with honest feelings could be bad or good but that's life, here its cold but not 2 bad eh. Asha

hey Gary: don't let the little episode slow you down big guy, take enough rest we will be still here when you come back eh. BTW how did you fell, you lost balance or something, it happens to me all the time, for past 2 weekends while trying to sit on stool, I have been landing on floor. once again take good care of yourself, and practice getting up from floor Asha

hey Vicky: congratulations Mrs vicki, so when are you posting your pictures of your wedding, where you are going for honeymoon. very happy for you, Asha

hi: I agree with you, closing PFO and taking coumadin is all distant past for me, I had my PFO closed in june 2004, now its road to recovery and gaining more strength, good luck to you both Asha

Debbie: In another 8 years we will be furnishing our kido's room, the feeling itself scares me, all these years are so precious, I still remember bringing my 9-1/2 pounder home and feeling proud mom when everyone said he was big boy. It's hard thing to letting your kid grow and go. Asha
