Pati,

We have missed you! Hope you feel better soon. Prayers for your speedy recovery. Thanks for letting us know.

[tic chick]

pati ,

thank you for your post!

i know it's not like you to post for as long as you have. i've been concerned about you for awhile, since shortly before your dad died. it seems you've had a lot of stress going on in your family.

i hope you're getting physical therapy. the greatest amount of improvement after a stroke is in the first year after. you have to work hard to regain whatever you lost from having a stroke in that period of time, cause after that window, not much more improvement is seen.

please take care of yourself ! fight to get back as much function as you can! i care about you and want you to have a good recovery and be able to do as much as you did before. update us whenever you can. we will understand .

(((hugs and love))) to you,
jeannie

I keep you in my prayers

[joy]

[B]I had noticed that you were not here much nor saying much but I was just hoping that you were still grieving from dads death because I know that can taker some time. but far worse now I see. a stroke, how scary. pati you take special care of yourself.

i hope to be able to call again soon and hope it is not disruptive and more than you can handle. much love to you dear one. miss you will have you in my prayers.

sweet Pati, I am so sorry, but I know you have it in you to work hard on getting better. my kids say, Mom has been to hell and back. Well they were right and I did come back...... By all the prayers and love sent my way I decided I had too many wonderful friends to give up at this point!!

I may be getting out of therapy soon. They know Beth is keeping a close eye on me and she won't allow mw to give me into my feelings. She is a wonderful daughter and I
l'll send her your way when I want to get a little rest. lol

Please take care Pati, you know we all love you much!!

A very special hug from Jo, to Pati and wishing her a complete recovery

(((((( s )))))) from Jo to Pati (((((( * ))))))

thanksmto all of you!

ah I feel a lot better now that I have talked tp you Pati. I was doing so anxiety type thinking and worrying when I could not get an answer by phone. it sure made me feel better to get to talk to you. and you lovely voice sounded like you.

don't overdo and I hope to see you back here often now. let me be first to say I HATE COLD WEATHER. LOL. I check to see how your weather is out your way almost daily when I am chec king mine. take care.

thanks for calling,gl i sounded ok,cause fraid i sounded too freaky. wsih it would warm up here! want some rain. broke a nice bowl today. tired of beingnsick.good to talk to somone besides m

[Jo6]

Pati, so good to hear from you!! Don't sweat the small stuff, like breaking things, not being good at writing, spelling is the pits etc.!

I still fret when I can't get the right words out, I'm nervous about talking on the phone, but I am doing better with that. My voice is still weak and raspy much of the time. My speech therapist says I am doing great and if I continue improving she will ask the Dr. to let her check on me now and then.

That was good news to me. I was so sick of having to drink everything nectar consistency. I will still have physical therapy 3 times a week. I don't mind that because she comes out to the house and I don't have to go running all over the place. Riding is very hard on all my back problems.

So, I think I'm getting better everyday. Pati, I know it is hard to have few people to talk to. You sound like you are showing progress, but I'm not sure I know what happened to you. If you feel like it one day maybe you can give us all some idea what happened. We care about you dear Pati and you have been missed very much since you've been missing!!

Please take care of your self and do what the Drs. say. I know the feeling about not liking to go to Dr. so much. I'm just plum sick of them!!

I pray everybody else is doing well and Joy, you stop that grumbling about winter. It will come and go so fast you won't even miss it! lol I hardly remember anything since fall of last year. Now you remember I am not fussing at you cause I love you too!

I love you all and hope to hear from all of you soon.

s to all, Jo

[joy]

I have to confess that out of ANY conversation I have with anyone, I always get just part of the words correctly, than I try and figure out what was said. truthful now. I even asked the doctor about my ears because they hurt so bad, I was thinking maybe there was fluid or something behind my hurting and not hearing everything. nothing there so it is probably just my normal merines disease.

so if I ever post something on braintalk telling what someobe else said, Please forgive me if I tell a wgopperf on you. it will just be my not understanding what was said.

but I sure was glad for those words that I did figure out when speaking to youy all on phone. usually a phone conversation is clearer to me because it blocks out noise of the room etc.

let me tell you all about the last sorta nice day we had here - there were 2 bluebirds in my backyard. the oldest bird was taking his bath in his birdbath. he took a long one too. then it was the younger birfds turn, well he was considerfazbly shorter time. lol made me think of young boys just hitting the high spots when cleaning. I won't get to sede that again for some time nows but it was plesant to stand inside and watch the birfds with their ritual. take care all

Now I let my mouth get me into trouble all the time lately!! I had to open mouth, insert foot and tell speech therapist that I sort of fell last night! Just stumbled over a small table, grabbing everything I could get hold of to keep from falling in the floor.

Now I really thought nothing of it, but the therapist sure thought something about it. She typed up all sorts of stuff, who knows what?? Now she will pass it on the physical therapist and I heard her tell the Drs. assistant all about it, making it sound like I did something horrible. Yes indeed, net time I stump my great toe I shall keep it to my self!!

It sure can make a body depressed and here I thought she would be rid of me today! Well, at least the physical T. will be all bubbley and happy when she comes!!

No more grumbling. Joy, you can fuss all you want to about winter time if you want to. I like to hear about the bird's and Nick and Nora and Marion's birds and all the other critters, oh yes, Pati's deer. I saw 2 on the side of the highway coming home from the Dr. the other day. Somebody had hit them and killed them. I'm getting more depressed by the moment so I'll hush and hut something happy to talk about.

take care all, Julia
