Musings on art, life and creatively coping with it all

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 :)

Claire, I had to look again to see where you are from. It is beautiful there with beginnings of spring. Here we are still ensconced in snow. It is still winter. Your post captures beautifully the hope of spring. Love, O
oh,oh,oh Claire, how I miss primroses..Thank you for posting such a lovely reminder of home for me :)
peace and love, Kai xx
Lucky you to have spring already. It is currently snowing and 10 F out. Seeing those flowers sure brightened my morning. Thanks.
Wow Claire you have some wonderful signs of spring there. I have blackbirds nesting in my yard. Everything is early this year! Beautiful :)
These are lovely. I’ve got lots of shoots, but only a couple of blossoms so far. I’m looking forward to flowers soon however. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs and blessings,
