I often think back of when I had my stroke and the long road to recovery and of all the people who helped me through those days. even the good and not so good experiences.
 I remember when a member from the S.A.M(Stroke Association Manitoba) came to visit with me and he told me of his experince and said that one day l'll look back on this and see that it went by quick and will be just a memory. At the time I thought to myself "yeah sure, l wish my experience was done with alrighty." But looking back now he was absolutely right.
This is a link to the S.A.M website http://www.strokerecovery.ca/
This group is amazing and they are also on facebook  over here https://www.facebook.com/groups/132466293487076/
They are a great group and help me.

Today on July 9 2013.

 On Sunday, I woke up not feeling so good but then about ah hour went by and I felt like myself again. So l went out with my family to have lunch at a restaurant.
 Everything was going fine until we got on the road. I started to feel dizzy and nauseous. M first thought was "oh no, not a stroke."
I had to tell them to stop the car right away and l leaned out to vomit. but after that i felt so much better. I figured it was car sickness. 
It is weird that after suffering and surviving a stroke and not just me but my whole family will atomically think it is a stroke again.

I realize it is July and alot of other people have already planted either some flowers or gardens or both, but i have not had any time to do them. Today l finally planted my herb garden ( with plants already seeded and growing from my Aunts Greenhouse called The Garden Spot.)
And tomorrow l will plant my cherry and roma tomatoes and marigolds.
I have what is referred to as a patio or deck garden. I use to plant a garden in my backyard but l find doing this way alot easier on my joints and back.
