This has been a hard week for us, and then I go to ds and find other people are going through the same thing. My discussion is based on stroke. People/friends/family/acquaintenaces where are their brains? Many people will remind me that my husband is brain damaged, his speech is not good, he repeats himself, his short term memory is not good, and that he will never be the person he was the day before the stroke. DO THEY NOT THINK THAT I KNOW THAT,WE LIVE WITH THIS. I decided today that I am only going to look that the triumps!!he is alive, I love him forever, he is my hero. We choose to fight with everything we have, this month it is 2 years ago. God has blessed us with so many wonderful things, including a future, is it perfect? No, could it be worst? yes a lot. We are shooting for the stars, we take nothing for granted, we look at everything differently.

This week was so dissappointing for us, Ralphs hero is the neursurgeon, when we went to see him, he was very clinical, Ralph was so excited to see him to show him how much he improved that his speech was off, I think his brain was full of everything he wanted to tell him, and could not listen to the questions that the doctor was asking him. He asked him if after excersising did he notice a limp in his right leg? Ralph just said he was back to normal, the answer to the question was no! there is no limp after excersising? the doctor then told Ralph that it was wonderful that he felt back to normal, but that other people would see and hear the fact that he wasn't and that the effects of the stroke are there for all to see.

Why do people insist on reminding us? do they think that we have forgotten? I just scream inside myself to tell all those people who think that they are helping to look at what a miracle he is and to cheer for all that he has accomplished? why can't they celebrate that!!!we do
