I’m thinking I should take out Mann’s Magic Mountain and do some reading in it since I am doing some serious convalascence. Medical workers assure me I willl recover from this stroke. I have been glum with regard to not dying from the next medical event. I was not very self aware during the stroke.

Michelle my physical therapist recommended journaling around my daily experience of this disease. Bethany recommended strategizing against forgetfulness. This has been very helpful. I got up this morning ready to do some walking. Eileen walked me to the corner which exhausted me.

Eileen called up my doctor and gave her lovely hell about not getting an update on my MRI of my leg for so long. It has been a month since this test. I think it probably made Eileen feel a little better to make this call. I am continuing to feel a tiny bit better every day.

Eileen had a call from a friend (Barb Vincensi) and went over to spend some time with her. Eileen is taking care of us invalids.
