Sue,

So glad to hear your son is moving closer. Your kids are so special. I enjoy reading your blogs. Keep up the good work you do.

Enjoyed your comments this morning Sue. You are always so uplifting and positive.

In your words Sue I can see you are healing. You are strong. I wish you only the best.

Have you ever gone to Spring Training?  My husband, son, and I go every year for Angels Spring Training in Tempe, AZ.   It's a lot of fun.  We only go for three days but enjoy the getaway.  I like NBA but don't go to any of the games.  I live in So. Calif. so go to Angel games in Anaheim. 

My husband and I went to Tempe, AZ to see the Angels play the Cubs (which they won) and the second game to the Padres which they lost.  It was a lot of fun.

Where did you go?  What games.

Thanks.

Bonnie, I'm glad to see you back. Sorry to hear about your husband. Be strong.

Love,

Mary

I always enjoy your blogs Sue. You are an inspration to me always.

Mary

Happy 4th of July to all Veterans who have given service to our great country. Hope everyone is having a safe 4th.

Mary

Your blog was refreshing Sue - I always enjoy your writing. You should write a book. I'd buy it. My mother and father had 5 kids. We were always going on picnics rain or shine. I'm sure she had to get out of the house to clear her mind. I sit in my backyard alot to hear nature. Planes flying overhead, birds etc.

Best regards,

Mary

I feel the same as Asha. You're a good writer to put things down on paper or rather on Strokenet. And to know yourself like you do.

Mary

I've been wanting to see the movie Asha. I noticed it's playing at our theater nearby. Maybe this weekend. I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks so much. My husband and I are both Veterans. We met in San Antonio, TX and a years later we were married. Still married today.

I'm thinking and praying for you and Ray also Sue. What a bunch of bunk. Hospitals! Take care.

Ruth,

I think the Nook is a great thing for us stroke survivors. I was given a Kindle as a gift and I love it. I have read sveral books with ease. I also have puzzles on mine too. Glad your husband is enjoying it.

I have to share something. Since I had my stroke in May 2005 I had a hard time reading. Last December I got a Kindle as a present and love it. I wasn't reading like I use to because the books are hard to hold and heavy. The Kindle is light weight and easy to read with. You can change the font to a larger type too. You can also put your book to Audio. I use that once in a while when I am alone. I hope this is of some use to you.

As I was reading your blog I said "Oh my God"! I'm glad everything turned out ok and for the best. Everyone was looking out for you. Take care.

I saw the show about 5 years agao and loved it a lot!. Makes me want to see it again. I'm glad you enjoyed it Ruth. :Clap-Hands:

I am defintely a bad blogger. It's been 9 months since my last blog. I still enjoy the Chat everynight........when I think of it. With the new site I had a time to find my name to do a new blog.

New news: I have a new granddaughter who is 11 months old tomorrow. My husband and I are very proud to be grandparets.

May 4 will be my 6 year anniversary since having a stroke. I am grateful I made it this far without a new ailment.

That's it for now folks. Take care all my friends.

Sue,

I know what you mean when you mention your son. I too have a son who lives in Iowa with his wife and my two grandkids.

We see him on Skype which is a help to talk with him and see the grandkids. I miss him a lot. He too was brought up with love. But we have lost that close bond we once had.

Cheer up - you always cheer me up. I hope Ray gets better too. Love you - Mary

Sue,

I love reading your blogs - it makes my day or evening. Keep on writing. I know you are my friend since I met you on Strokenet over 5 years ago. Merry Christmas Sue.

Love,

Mary Goldberg :You-Rock:

Wow! It's been sometime since I have blogged. All I wish to say here that it is my 5 year anniversary tomorrow, May 5th. I am so happy that nothing more has happened to me and I am a survivor. I have throughly enjoyed this site and made many friends. Thank you everyone.

I don't know if anyone has missed me but it has been some time I have been on chat. I miss chat! My computer is working fine but for some reason everytime I go into chat it throws me off the internet. I can read the blogs and even send a email. Anyone know what is wrong?

Mary Goldberg :Help: :Argh:

Like Wesley H. said if you find a quick fix let me know also. It's been 3 years for me since my stroke. If there is any advice from me I would say for you to find a new normal. This was on Oprah show one day, "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired". I keep busy by going to my senior center. I am the youngest person there so I am always being told what a nice person I am. I just have always liked older people. My newe girlfriend is 87 this month. I was 58 when I joined. I needed socializing. I was home by myself for 10 hours a day so needed to get out. The center picks me up and drops me off for nothing. Good luck with the new you and hope to see you on chat.
