I must say I had thought that the deficits you describe suffering were likely to cut a huge swathe through your regular activities. As with any loss it is now, rather than immediately after the event, that reality kicks in and things look really REALLY shit. However, the after-effects of stroke are treatable, do resolve, will improve .... slowly. For mile-a-minute-Monster that's going to be bloody hard. Being patient is going to take all your evident and admirable inner strength, Monster. I expect to hear all about your frustrations here on a regular basis. We're all here, urging you on, sending you strength, good vibes, prayers, sympathy, extending our ears.
