Sue: post stroke it took me while to adjust to the fact that i am no longer Asha (Senior software Engineer) but just Asha Mom & wife who never gets any thanks or money only criticism if job is not done correctly. but I have to remind myself I am fortunate that I still have people who love me unconditionally even when job is not done correctly. I know as per hindu philosophy. I just have to do my job(karma) right, rest will be taken care by God. & my job in this stage of my life is to be best mom & wife I could be, and I am going to try that. cheers, Asha

hi tammy: welcome to wonderful world of blogging. I suffered stroke at age of 34 after delivering premature baby and loosing a baby day later. it was in 2004. Stroke changed path of my life completly. I used to love my job as software Engineer. it has been long road back to new normalcy. For me personally blogging and chatting with other survivors made life bit bearable post stroke. Would love to know you more through your blogs. Asha(now 40 year old survivor)

Janine: I was so happy to see your blog and get snapshot of your life. I wondered about you and Larry all the time. It is sad when survivor doesn't want to get better and gives up. life does go on, and we all have to make best lemonade out of lemons we are handed in. Sometime I feel fortunate that stroke changed path of our life when I was so young, though it gave me kick in butt to reclaim rest of my life. Asha
