It’s been a very long time since I wrote anything, so I thought I should check in. This is what happen when you have a a big stroke. I went from hospital to hospital for weeks, until April that’s when I landed at Avante Rehab Center in Chicago. It’s an excellent facility with a fine staff but I miss my independence. The stroke largely crippled my left leg and damaged my left arm, which is why I am in intensive therapy.
I am told I will walk again but it still will take a lot of work.
It may sound sadistic but I really enjoy therapy. I like to move my Limbs, and they have excellent equipment. I look forward to it every day.

Therapy has enabled me to stand again and I’ve already taken a few steps. It felt great!
Another form of therapy I enjoy is speech therapy. My speech was not affected by the stroke but my memory and recall were. You have helped me greatly. There are even speech therapy games I’ve put on my iPad.
Avanti is not my permanent home but I’m glad to be here while I need it. I hope to return to posting more frequently because I miss it. I think those of you who checked in and I appreciate it. I appreciate all of you. This one will be short when I look forward to talking with you again. As always I appreciate comments and questions. God bless!
Good to hear from you! Glad you are doing better
Bald to hear from you, old friend! Hope to be back at UM soon. Take care!
Sounds like you’re going to make a beautiful Pen. I hope all is well!
Thanks for the update bud. Glad to know you’re okay.
Oh, and don’t worry about the woo merchants. We got this. 😀
Great to hear from you, Harte! Hope to be be back at Unexplained mysteries soon enough. Keep the woo under control until then!
Recently, the flow of the sweet, sweet milk of the woo teat has picked up enough that there is fresh woo milk available for everyone, and we don’t have to settle for old cheese.
That may have something to do with you not being there hogging up all the teats.

Thanks. The docs and therapists are working wonders for me! I really need my old, full computer but that will require new living arrangements…handicapped accessible plus assisted living. We’ll get there!

Hi KMT Sesh
Just like the immortal Imhotep, you seem pretty much unstoppable. All the best with your continuing recovery. I look forward to you terrorising those with improper thoughts for decades to come.
