    I empathize with you having a stroke. I had a cerebellar stroke, this past December. It left me with deficits including intention tremor (right side) and slurred speech. Handwriting and typing were a problem. Things have gradually improved, but the slurred speech is still noticeable when I am...

    greeting from Canada

    All the various comments made me chuckle. All too familiar. I dread the question "how are you?". I have to do a complete mental body scan, and don't have ready words for anything, except MAYBE The easiest answer to the questions is therefore "fine". Asking me "what are you thinking?" is...
