Aye, the strokism is going away...thank the dog
I always new it would go away, eventually, but 2.10 years after the stroke, it is finally going away. I have to think that at 3 years I should be quite alright. I am calmer now that my BP is down to 105/60 (diavon) were is always was, in the 5 years that passed, 150/70. My aphasia, it is quite well when I am at work, it breaks down when I go home. Give the aphasia another year to be completed with it.
The fact that my Brian got the logic from the left side and grew it on the right side is unbelievable to me. All the time I was functioning quite well, the Brian rocks.
All Hail The Brian !
All Hail !
This was a dark, dark secret around a year ago, I never thought I would kick the strokism and aphasia in the face. These were dark, dark times. But I was dreamy with the Prozac, nothing could hurt me then. So I was OK under the Prozac but those times had to change as well.

Images from my walk in the morning....
What this looks like is LSD....of course it could have been a kid, a kid with an amazing thought process.

Salvador Dali
Oh Salvador with your pippin unbecomeist
A thwart el mustache entwine to root about your ears
The bucket of water encase with cats, three of them
Alas the cats are dead but your paintings still live
Oh Dali such a no name
But the Salvador makes it come alive
If I could speak to you for five moments
I would ask you what is your favorite flower
And then
Devour it....devour it....devour it!
I would ask you what is your favorite suit
And then
Get it three sizes to big and live in it
Live in it
Patience
It was Senor Mike Stokes who said to me today :
"You have patience, patience like I have never seen."
Why thank you Senor Stokes!
I have to have patience today. It was not always so. But the stroke put me in my place. That is, I could not get any better
if I ranted and raved about how the stroke did me in.
There would be no point.
I was set back to zero by the stroke. Any everyday since then there has been something I cling to.
Be it the air around me.
Or the tree trunk.
Or getting to drive in my car.
Everything, because I am not dead yet.
I am not dead yet.

Spring Valley Jr. High. SVJH!
I was miserable going to SVJH. I had allergies, I had braces ( with the head set ), I was over weight, I could not have dairy and grains (allergies) , and playing the bass clarinet I developed sours on the inside
of my mouth. Good Riddance SVJH!
of my mouth. Good Riddance SVJH!
Salazars Tacos....
Brian, it is a mexican grill now. The Ox Bow Inn was right beside it. It was closed up.
We drove all around Casa De Ora. It was the same but it was run down.

This was my home for 19 years. There was a pine tree in the front that is gone. It looks the same as always. Sort of weird. Good Bye Ramona Dr.!

Stroke, Aphasia, I just want it to be done, but, we have a ways to go.....
Ok, so it has been 2.9 years sense the stroke buttered me up and left me to toast with:
1. The Stroke
and
2. Aphasia
I really came out no worse for wear with the paralysis, did not have it at all. But the brain is an odd beast. Speech went with the stroke. Speech was the on thing I had going for me. In fact I used allegories and metaphor to explain everything. I could break it down into the parts for a Sales Rep to see and make since of it. That and Excel. Excel was a dream. In fact I can use Excel today better than I did prior to the stroke. But without the speech, it is nada.
You can see my writing has come along, it is still not up to the stroke prior, but it is coming along nicely. Now I could rant and rave about the stroke and the Aphasia, but what of it, it happened to me and I am glad not to be dead. Now if the Speech would get down to business things would be great. But it is slow going with the Speech. In fact the center of my brain that use to handle speech was fried out. Now it is growing on my right side. Or that is what they tell me. Who knows at this point.
Speech I say!
Speech!
