"I have the title for your blog this week," Mr. Ginley declared last night.
"I'm not the writer. But maybe you could interview me," he suggested.
So here we go, in Stroky McStrokerson's own words. I posed the questions, he supplied the responses.
Q: What was it like to have a stroke?
A: Very frightening. I lost total control of my life. Now I have to seize it back, one day at a time.
Q: What are you grateful for?
A: I can still use my brain. I haven't lost my memories. And I remember old song lyrics and sing them for my wife.
Q: What do you like most about being home again?
A: Being together again with my girl.
Q: How is the food compared to the last place?
A: Excellent.
Q: Is there anything you miss about the nursing home?
A: I miss the PT team and a couple of the aides (they know who they are.)
Q: What is your short-term goal?
A: To get my left knee back.
Q: What are your long-term goals?
A: Walking hand-in-hand with my wife.
Q: How is the cat dealing with your being home?
A: Not well. She's very leery of me.
Q: Do you really call yourself Stroky McStrokerson?
A: Yes, I do.
Q: Are you working hard on your recovery?
A: As hard as I can. I push myself every day to do one more thing.
Q: How is your new chair working out?
A: It's wonderful.
Q: What have you learned from your experience?
A: There's a learning curve. I need to be patient.
Q: Anything else you'd like to share?
A: I love you all, thanks for your visits, prayers, and kind thoughts. I have much to live for.
