Musings on art, life and creatively coping with it all
September always feels more like the beginning of a new year for me than the traditional 1 January, so I figured now was the time to actually start my blog!! The kids start back to school tomorrow, and then I'm hoping to have more time to play with templates, settings, pictures.... So, to state the obvious - watch this space...

I suffered a serious stroke over 10 years ago (aged 43 at the time) and it's been a slow, often frustrating, recovery... I lost my speech and was totally paralyzed on my right side, but with patience and regular physiotherapy, I can now speak, walk short distances, operate the computer, but my right side is still paralyzed. I get botox injections 3 times a year in my right bicep and forearm, which relaxes the high-tone muscles and makes it easier to stand and walk. Last year I started weekly sessions of hydrotherapy, where I build up the wasted muscles by exercising while supported by the warm water. It's bliss at the time, but I ache like heck next day - but it's so worth it :)
