Paul Forwood Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Wishing you a full recovery, Gene. A friend of mine had a stroke a couple of years ago which left him paralized on his right side. Everyone encouraged him to pick up his guitar and forced a jam session on him every Thursday evening. He now plays quite regularly and most symptoms of his stroke have vanished. Take your time but keep focused on recovery. Cut out the crap and balance your life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a scare. It's a relief that you've recovered a bit, but there's still stuff that has to be watched and dealt with. I hope they get it all figured out and you're back to industrial strength soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
