It takes time

What skills or lessons have you learned recently?

To heal and recover. I’ve been recovering from my massive stroke for 9.5 years, and the thing I’ve learned through the whole thing is patience is not only helpful but necessary so that you don’t go insane . The improvements will happen when they happen. If you do the work and trust the process, recovery will feel closer with each year.

I’ve also learned that if you feel encouraged, you can try something new. This year, I finally got some of my balance back, and it was so encouraging that I tried to walk without my AFO brace and to my and everyone’s surprise, I could. Not only could I do it, but I could walk farther than I expected. If you don’t try, you’ll never succeed.

I’ve included the video of my first time trying to walk without my AFO brace to hopefully encourage some of you to try something new and difficult.

It takes time and effort to heal and recover. Remember, all things are difficult before they’re easy.

  1. Taken a break for a short time. Had significant victories in my case and sort of hit a dead end of success. Reassessing my goals now. Will be back on WordPress with a plan. The journal exercise is done.

  2. Definitely coming back. I got my digital identity back (from the “good guys”)… and then I got the scripts I needed while Medicare protects my records from any unwanted doctors and other providers. I could keep campaigning as an activist but I need a new adventure
