This Guy

I missed a few blog posts this last weekend, but for good purpose.

My sweet husband, Dale, had a stroke.



Not to worry! He's doing well, has full function of his body, and is in good spirits. The part of his brain that was affected has to do with short-term memory, some minor vision problems, and slower language skills. He still walks and talks and eats and climbs stairs and completes all his normal activities. His mind is just a bit slower than it was last week.

As his brother quipped, he's now on the same plane as the rest of us mere mortals.

As he quipped, he gets to be his own science experiment now as he recovers.

We're blessed to have great health insurance and access to wonderful health care professionals. We've got a course of action laid out ahead of us. The prognosis is good. Our positive outlook is intact. We're just a bit tired this morning and plan to take it easy for a couple weeks.

So ... how was your weekend?

It's good to hear you guys are hopeful and in good spirits. Everyone is sending positive energy your way for great progress. We all love Dale and look forward to him conquering this challenge. He's the most worthy champion I trust he'll come out on top.
