Ok, back before I got the stroke, I was looking at getting involved with Toastmasters. I had gotten fairly good at it at another job. But at Citrix it would really do me good to have it. I went for three or four of the meetings. And then I was hit by the stroke. Anyway, the stroke was a mess, really, a mess. I took three months off. Then I came back at 50%, then I had my Cartod Endaretectomy, then I was 70%, 90% and on Dec. 18th. I was 100%. Around Jan I took in Toastmasters again. Where I could use it before the stroke, this time I really needed it. Getting my thoughts in order, actually, getting my thoughts in order outside my body. I still thought the same way. Sure my lingo was fried. It was how to get it out into the open. How to get my thoughts out. Grated, I sleep a lot, A LOT, something my thoughts do not amount to anything in particular. So come August I had my first speaking role: Table Topics.
I have no idea how I did. Amber, Jill, Danielle, David gave there speeches. The were awesome. I will have to see the video to see how I did.
