I've had therapy a couple of times now. The stationary bike seems to be my best therap. I can walk with a cane but use a walker when we go out. I was fortunate that my speech and my face weren't affected. Mainly my right ar.m and leg. I can do most things except write and type with my right hand.

I have a grear hematologist figuring out why I had two strokes.

Dad came every week to see me up until the last two weeks he lived. I know he pushed himself. When I had in home therapy he came on those days. He watched them like he was a hawk. He and my mom spent every holiday with us - my siblings were always tied up with their kids and grandkids. Its a family joke how dad always dropped crumbs on the floor. I even miss, cleaning them up.

He was a good man and father. I'm blessed,to have a good husband. And I still have my mom who is 89.
