That's good to know in case I have another stroke and don't recover like I did last time!

I didn't know you had had a stroke, it doesn't seem to have affected your painting thank goodness

Hope you made/are making a full recovery

Yes it was10 years ago Jeanette, I had a spontaneous brain haemorrhage - no cause found, I was totally right side hemiplegic for a few days but after 10 days I walked out the hospital! I can't draw straight lines like I used to, and have to use a maul stick to rest my arm on for fine detail, arm gets achy and crampy (especially after too long playing any instrument!) and I have to take anti-convulsants for the rest of my life (that was more scary than the stroke )

Wow, that is scary, Lorna... we are complicated bits of gear... a lot that can go wrong.

Lorna, I have marked your post as "Cool" Because I think you are! That's a remarkable thing that you've overcome well done! As for the one armed man, how inspirational is he? What an amazing chap and a lovely supportive family too!!!!

Yep it certainly was scary - lucky to survive and amazing how we can fight back too!
