About Me
Married to my best friend. We have a Son 40, Daughter 37 and 4 grandchildren. Had a stroke Oct. 2004,Thrombosis Lacunar Infarction. Paralized on Left side. One year later 99 % back to normal. PD has increased this year. I also have dystonia of the feet. Right foot received botox today. July 16,2008. I loose my balance easily, so I have to be careful. I usually use a cane or walker. When shopping I use a wheelchair. I use to be physically fit, going to the Gym working out 4 to 5 times a week. Thats the one thing that I miss. My husband recently retired, to help take care of me.
