my stroke recovery- (2) year post

as a result of the installation of the parallel bars, i was walking aided by a three-pronged cane on a daily basis. by the time of my second anniversary, i was confident enough to make several tentative steps unaided and spent most early mornings sitting on my sofa at the cafe.my daily prayers also became akin to an automatic ritual. my speech was better and slurrying was minimal, i was also putting on weight and the process of buang air besar(shitting)gradually became easier. so there was progress, but god in his infinite wisdom seems to confer progress in drips. by the end of 2007, i steeled myself and started to singlehandedly(literally)drive my hilux to the warong several times a week for my pre-stroke customary teh tarik and roti canai. this involves driving over a distance of around 2 km. well, thats a great start. very soon, i managed to strikeup several acquaintanceships among the kampung elders. i was also busying myself in trying to assist my wife in the batik basis, and was regularly staying up all night to work on the computer, working on projections, just as it was my practise pre-stroke .
