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 :)

Hi Claire,
Really enjoyed this. I've just notice that you have THREE BLOG site awards - WAY TO GO!!!
Just dropped by to say that I'm thinking about you. Hope you're doing well... The song was a nice surprise. I really enjoyed the video too (I always wave to the boys making magic with those signs... and they wave back).
Hi Claire,
Hope you are enjoying the India's Love Lyrics Journal! I told my husband we may have to move over there after our elections, so who knows we may meet someday soon.
Hi there
I saw on this moonroot blog site & thought it was a great idea - an interview! So here are 5 questions that you may think worth answering on the blog!!
*Where did you grow up? Tell me a happy childhood memory.
*What is your day job?
* What is your favourite form of artistic expression?
* What is a goal that you hope to achieve in the next year?
* Who do you think should win "Strictly Come Dancing" & why?

Hey ... thanks for sharing. It's a new song to me, but I thoroughly enjoyed it ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Just dropping in to say hi! I've had you on my mind. I had a pic of the pillow you bought up as my header for a few day and every time I looked at it, I thought of you. xoxox
