My PCP says both have to be hurting before we can say it's caused by the satin drugs. One don't qualify.

Sue, I follow you, I'm good for 36 hours, I had my nap, ready to party till the cake is gone. I have a sweet tooth.

My best to Ray this morning, my time.

In my opinion friends are people to converse with, share the same common interest, in this case survivor of a stroke, and caregivers who are there caring for them day and night.

Some of the friends we had before the stroke is no where to be found. So the computer has united a group of friends with a goal to recover and get on with our lives. I'm glad you will be helping others and getting help yourself. We strive to do just that.

We respect what you are saying, but I feel you will find some here you can confide in from their experiences which may be the same as yours when you had your stroke.

Like right now you are here, you had a stroke, you survived, thats what matters to us. If we can help, your gender or orgin doesn't matter nor if you can speak or walk, we care. We try and offer ideas to help.

SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER SURVIVOR ON THE HORIZON and about to be crowned! Good luck!

ANOTHER DITTO BUT I'M A YEAR OLDER!! Best wishes, and much happiness.

Host Pam,

To you I say congratulations on your total happiness that's shining like a full moon. I can hear your satisfaction in what you have typed here.

Should you get the opertune time, give my regards to your neighbor, I pray for more longivity in her life.

I can't see my hour glass but I celebrate life like it's full and that makes me realize your happiness in the choices you are making in your life. Hang on in there, I'm on your side of the thinking curve, no time for what could have been. I live for now happy about what I CAN do.

It wore me out just reading about it, If I think about it, I'd have to take a long nap.

You gotta remember God is in charge of the rain and weather, not the weatherman, even if he did a rain dance.

So you gotta use expensive water till the free water comes your way. I'll bet the plants won't know the difference at first.

You are still going to keep your gardner title, Martha still has hers. With your secret compose you may have record growth coming your way soon.

Get out of the denial room real fast. Realize you had a stroke which has changed your life style. It's like going to bed one night knowing you are wealthy. Wake up and see you are poor, everything you had is not there, you call the bank, they say you have no money there.

I don't ever look pass me shopping on my scooter in the stores. On the other hand I could walk in like everybody else one day. I don't fret to say when is it going to happen. Live with what you got today and tomorrow will take care of itself with you in it. Rest your mind, you are a live survivor.

Breathing, walking, and talking, all survivors can't do that. You are blessed my child. Think for a moment about all the non-survivors from just last week. Then there are survivors that would love to change places with you instead of the unstable,uncertainty times they are facing. Progress is the rooms you pass thru in stages.

Keep the faith Mike, things have a way of working out for the betterment of those concerned. Speaking from experience, I'm on my 4th and last marriage. There is give and take on both ends.

When both ends don't meat, you have to use fish. I learned long time ago. Praise and peace I pray in your situation sir.

Sandy, I sorta remember its a greek goddess, like yourself, and a young male got hunted by a wild hog. I don't remember the rest now. I had this in 1979, my last year college. Its a aphrodite.

Love is a feeling that you feel.

Stan & Kim

I agree with both of you. As a stroke survivor I lost some motion on the left of my body. I now have a caregiver wife who lost her father. Her mom and other family members are here with us.

Still others lost everything, including their lives, their caregivers are complete strangers and they only got the clothes on their backs and hopes for the future.

I'm thankful to have survived and alive, therefore I can't get depressed because, in my case, I feel blessed. I'm not doing great, still back in therapy, hurt daily, had a TIA recently, but I'm still alive.

We have faith, we pray daily, jesus did and he died very young for our sins. Who are we?

Is it possible for a man to have "all the above" and be listed as OTHER??

YOU KNOW HOW SOME ARE MR. MACHO, ego's, been there, done that types, but can't remember where or when or even why.

When you are in the big Apple, Katrina weather is present, and brain damage occured sometime ago, it's easy to be bored.

So when the need to blog is there, what a great subject, it's the finer details that may seem different. The leather chaps mean you been reading those western romance books. Thats a Texas viewpoint.

And Marty, you don't want never, never land, Michael may have to sell soon and you would have to make yet another move back to the lakes area from CA.

Scott, thank God you are under control, you are not alone. No boat comes in here with just passenger aboard. Aren't we blessed??

How's your lil sis doing in AL with all the aftermath of the storm???Looks like her fund raising experience is going to be needed some place very soon. I hope she's able to help if called upon.

You are going to live a long time. You are now a happy woman!!!!!

Maybe a fast appointment with your dental office may shed some light on the subject. Otherwise you would have to rely on another person to say yea or na. Thats my 2$ worth.

Marty, I don't know if this is true or not!! It could be an old wives tale.

The only way it can be found is you MUST return to the place of loss. That being the Motel,back seat of That Car,That Room of your Parents house, a field, Stairwell, or where ever you were.

Then you have to stand there and think really hard if that time was your first time?? If it WAS NOT, somebody is holding it waiting for your return, but you don't remember who it was. If it WAS the first time, they still got it, so its not misplaced, it may still be in circulation.

WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND.

Same ol, same o' thing here.

Your house is like mine. Between me and my little grand daughter, we keep my wife very busy. She needs a break too. It's another one of those things that can't be done in one days work.

Seems like now all travelers will have to wait until the water goes down.

That hurricane was no joke, when I see on the news boats going down the streets that cars normally use.

Linda, I can echo your blog, you are a great inspiration for progress and never give up. This site has and still is my haven for expressions and motivations. I'm going on 19 months out and also hope to have many more progress reports.

That part of my brain was lost in the attack on 15 Jan 04.

Liz, I printed out all the instructions you gave on my computer, took it in to do all that but we couldn't get on her computer. So I don't know now what we need to do to get rid of the worm.

I've got EZ, antispam and the whole package from road runner, time warner cable. If you feel I need more instructions, please email or PM me.
