It's great. I haven't been around for awhile because I have been ill. On the Friday before Columbas Day I was sitting with my Mom and brother talking about engagement rings when I had a seizure...this is new for me. An MRI 3 days later reveled that I had a stroke, (I am 42). I have lost much function on my left side, so walking and fine motor stuff has been a real challenge. Right now I am doing physical and occupational therapy because I have great
hope that I will get back most of the function I had. This has been a very difficult time for my husband and children but they rally me up everyday!

I have read extensively on the type of stroke that I had, (hemorrhagic),
and have discovered that I am lucky that I am here to type this...so please do not feel sorry for me. I am going to ride my bike again one day, and dance a joyus dance soon!

Massbikebabe - Im so sorry to hear about your stroke. You have a great healing attitude and Im sure you will move strongly along the road to recovery. Your children and husband sound like a great support for you and Im sure they are feeling very blessed and lucky to still have their loving mother and wife around.

Sending healing thoughts your way.
