Forward

It’s been nearly six months since I last updated this blog. 

In the New Year, I’ve given my recovery a lot of thought, and have decided to start living again.  Put the stroke behind me best I can and go forward with my life.

I started going to a yoga studio twice a week and have been getting more socialization in than I have been.  Granted, I’m taking private lessons so I can go at my own pace.  It still gives me some interaction twice a week.

My reading proficiency has not improved much this past year, I will keep my goal of reading every day so I don’t backslide going forward.

I’m getting more comfortable in my body.  Feeling more and more like myself, making jokes, interacting more with others. 

It sure wasn’t easy to get here.

I’ve been through a lot with my health over the years, but having a stroke, I have to say, has been the hardest thing to get through.  There’s no magic process, no pill to take to make it go away.  No guidebook on how to manage all issues recovery from stroke encompasses. 

We have to do it our own way. 

It has taken me five, long, arduous years to get here and I’m glad I stuck around for it.  I’m still me, regardless of my deficiencies.  I hope my journey has helped folks.  Not sure If I’ll ever add to this again, but I know someone visits this site each day, and for that I will be leaving it up for a while.

Thank you to everyone who has followed me and have shared their thoughts and recovery with me. It has helped more than I ever imagined.
