GreenQueen Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 With everything that's going on everywhere, would everyone mind posting here... When people are checking the site but not commenting, I miss them and worry if they are ok. Even an "I'm ok" is fine... 💚👑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swilkinson Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 You know I am fine as I post comments in the Blog section. I am hoping to encourage others to update their blogs too. Sue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Michigan Wil is OK! Thank you for asking. GreenQueen I have been wanting to tell you something about riding that recumbent bike. I never and I mean never ride that thing in the morning and even mid day is rare. I usually am not mentally or physically ready to do that until later in the afternoon or very early evening.

Willis Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Seemed like a good idea and simple enough request GreenQueen. Only 2 responses? Community? Wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swilkinson Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Blogs seems to be the most active part of the site at the moment and Janelle is a familiar face there so those are the people who will reply to this post. At the moment people are not coming onto the site in great numbers, maybe because the weather is calling them outdoors, so replies will be few. The community grows in numbers but a lot of people just read rather than respond to the posts. A pity really as by replying they become part of the community.

swilkinson Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Checked the number in the last 24 hours only 14 people came to the site. Some were long time members who USED to post a lot, others I don't recall posting. So tell your friends about the site and encourage them to post here. It would be sad if Strokenet was just another victim of the Covid pandemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathber Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I don't post many new topics these days. But I do logon regularly and respond to others. But Sue I will think about a new blog entry, as I haven't done that in ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Still literally a priceless group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HostSueC Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Here I am! SueC from Vancouver Canada. I am on the live stroke survivor chat most days. As I am quite antisocial, Covid has not affected me as much as others. My husband does all the shopping, safer not to have both of us out there in the shops! Thank you GreenQueen for checking on everyone. And thank you for all your thoughtful comments. I don't think I would be anywhere near where I am in healing, had it not been for this group!

will2 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Janelle, I'm just quiet and on the periphery. I read though, and wish everybody well. Best Regards, Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swilkinson Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Will2 glad you are okay. Stay with us, keep reading but comment when you think you have something to say on the subject. This gives the poster the benefit of your experience and your wisdom and makes the site one of value to those who have had a stroke and their caregivers.

GreenQueen Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Willis thanks for the bike riding tip. I never feel like riding in the morning so it quite often falls by the wayside. I have a nana nap or rest time during the afternoon. Will give it a go both before and after and see what works best. 💚👑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will2 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 swilkinson and janelle, thank you for your kind thoughts. In retrospect, looking back on some of my more long-winded posts and I felt a need to side step and defer to those with more experience and relevant knowledge. It just seemed to be the more prudent path in my estimation. It never stopped me from reading and praying for those who I felt could benefit, even if they weren't aware I would intercede on their behalf privately, I care. I've always remained in PM contact with my good friend Willis and have on occasion expressed to him my need to just be silent and listen more, all the while caring from a distance. I must admit also, I'm not a chat room suited person. I'd tell you all that you have my greatest respect and admiration, your more than just invisible friends in cyberspace, we share and have a greater understanding about each others trials and difficulties, and also the joys of accomplishment and achievements. You get it...and thats special, a special bond that will always keep me coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwalt Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 All is well at my abode. Just seems like so much going on in the rest of my world that I just skim. the posts here and then move on. And that is not good for. me or. for this site. I'll do better and thanks for the reminder. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksmith Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'm OK. I love to read what others do for I'm a very boring person. Even before this, but after my stroke, I'm not fond of people. I read, when my brain allows it and binge watches British TV. I talk to my cats lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathber Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 That is a blissed out cat. But rub his tummy only if you're quick. Why do cats offer up that sort of temptation, they know we can't resist. Or is that the point 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alansd Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 hello all, i am still here.....I rode my recumbent trike around our new neighborhood now that it cooled down some and the construction has abated.Enjoyed lapping the cul-de-sacs.But ; my bad leg was super tired for the next 3 days.Still I look forward to my next cruise around.There are a few hills to deal with also, but I like the challenge. I am using fsm, with micro voltage applied steadily on my arm and hand. It does relieve any pain, and helps with spasticity for awhile but not brought the hand back yet, supposed to take 6 weeks,I am in my first.
