8 years of recovery and I've still a long ways to go. My goals are extremely high but then I could do it all before and I still want to get back to most of the stuff I used to do. Running, biking, whitewater canoeing, swimming.
I can't really see any improvement in the stroke world. Our stroke associations are still worthless, they can't get away from the lazy press release concept and still think F.A.S.T. and tPA are what the focus should be on.
I'm still probably happier than at any time in my life. I've made wonderful friends here in Michigan, I'm no longer married, and I know what I'm going to do for my purpose in life.
Wow! I'm at 4.5 years and I think THAT'S a long time to persevere. 8 is impressive. Keep going.
ReplyDeleteHappy unhappy anniversary Dean.
