recovery

I decided that I am going to use my blog to re-train my brain and get back into typing shape. Everyday I plan on typing at least one post to excercise my brain. You would not believe how hard it is to type right now. I have to really focus and block out all external noise in order to get my fingers to type the words that are coming from my mind. I see the words in my head,but my fingers are not responding as they should. After I type for just a few minutes, I get really tired. I feel exhausted. It feels like I just ran down the street. I guess I just need to keep doing these brain push-ups to get back into shape.

It has been a whirlwind lately. I do not remember what happened when I had the stroke. I do not remember the first several days of being in the hospital. I just remember seeing faces of the people that came to visit me. I remember seeing my wife Desiree - crying at my bed side. I remember, my Mom, Dad and Grandparent being there. I remember seing my Grandfather with tears in his eyes. I remember talking to my grandmother and telling her about one of the times we went camping and fishing when I was a child.

When they had me on the drugs for the pain that I was having in my head - I saw a lot of things.....One was what I believe was the Angel of death. It/he was coming through the TV screen. It/he had an outstretched hand and was reaching for me. I remember lifting up my arm and trying to grab the hand. It was disturbing and unsettling.

There was also the fish that I saw floating above my head. Thy looked like rainbow colored coy fish. I could reach up and touch them and the water would ripple at my touch. I guess I was a little out of my mind at the time.

I apologize if I misspelled words or my grammar and punctuation are not correct. At this point I am just glad that I can type....

Getting better everyday......
