It has been two years today since my frikken stroke. Wow, I can hardly contain my excitement.

What should I do to celebrate? October 20, I guess it is my personal 9/11.

Writing in this blog will be the extent of my "celebration".

Personally, I have much to be thankful over the past two years. I have made tremendous progress yet their is
much more for me to do.

Sometimes it is still hard for my mind to comprehend that yes I did in fact suffer a stroke. I am reminded every time I get out of bed in the morning or when I attempt to do something that used to be so simple or routine.

Like tying my shoelaces or brushing my teeth.

Because of that difficulty, amongst other activities I no longer do these things.

The drawback is that my teeth are discolored, my breath is very bad and I am constantly tripping over my shoelaces.

Just kidding.

I am just trying to disprove what a certain Neurologist said about me losing any sense of humor while I was still in the hospital.

In all honesty as I mentioned I am very thankful and I consider myself blessed to be where I am now.

Their is much much work for me to do however( I meant to use the word much twice)

So I better get at it.

By the way we all have areas in our life that we need to work on and improve.

So after you read this get going. Time and tide wait for no man(or woman).
