May Sarton is one of my absolute favorite poets. I look forward to reading this journal she kept after her stroke. I find myself seeking out the writings of other survivors as inspiration to push through the rigors of recovery. ❤️🩹

7 mths ago I was wheeled into my room at the rehab hospital on a gurney, and board transferred onto my bed. 6mths ago at my first PT appointment, I arrived in a wheelchair. It’s frustrating as f*ck, but progress is steady.#strokesurvivor #learningtowalkagain #learningtowriteagain

Owls are back! I got this shot, but I wasn’t fast enough to get the shot of the 2nd Owl, wings fully extended flying toward me, with this owl photo-bombing.

Stroke Update Month Six: walking is consistently getting better. About a third of the time I walk without the cane. My gait looks like Frankenstein, but that should smooth out.
