3/ Since the stroke I have oddly become more myself. Foreign layers that accreted on me between infancy and the stroke are dissolving bit by bit. I am becoming less afraid. Sometimes. May I keep going.

2/ I could whine about how I’m so disabled—my eyesight, trouble walking, trouble thinking or talking when I get too tired—but in truth I have about 85% of my abilities; I was expected to die. I am deeply deeply grateful to the people who saved my life.

11 years ago today I had a massive stroke. My brain swelled 7.5mm to the left. I came within hours of dying but an experimental treatment saved my life; I was 497 out of 500 patients in the study and probably one of its greatest successes. 1/

Today is my 33rd couples anniversary with @velvetackbar.bsky.social. We met, we fell in love almost immediately, we’re still together. May you find a good someone like you or nothing like you or kind of like you, whatever (we are a couple of goons), be blessed. We have been and we are. ❤️

2/ I wish I knew then what I do now but don’t we always say that. What I’ve learned since has been deeply humbling. I’m grateful.

11 years ago today our old house almost burned down with us inside. We all barely made it out alive with Henry Dog & Blackberry Kitty but Inky Kitty died. 3 weeks later I had a massive stroke & came within hours of dying myself. 1/

Finally finished. It took me almost two years to spin this bump of Rambouillet. (I was doing other stuff too, not just this.) It’s almost lace-weight I spun it so fine. Next up: a bump of BFL and silk in fire engine red.
