As of today, my ratio of dry nights to wet is up to 17:7. Also, my body feels different in a good way - I don't have the neck-to-toes numbness and tingling during the night and in the morning which makes me feel like I had another stroke - and my movements, both locomotion and fine motor skills, are much more fluid. I'm starting to multi-task. It's like I can walk down the street and chew gum at the same time, if you know what I mean. I can't even remember my last daytime accident. I'm not making any big plans just yet, but I'm feeling the stirrings of moving ahead with fixing my life. Wetters |

Hi, Patrick, thanks very much for acknowledging my improvements and for your thoughtful response. I have been thinking about volunteering to run a workshop for living with chronic conditions. My medical center has them, and the facility is looking for volunteers (they provide training). I can't help thinking that my journey has been for a reason, since I really can't see this as payback time for past indiscretions. Wetters |

Several years ago I attended a workshop for folks with chronic illnesses run by a local hospital. Because those who attended were dealing with such a wide variety of ailments, no single bit of advice suited all. However, the leaders did include a list of online support groups and medical advice providers, which has proven quite useful. I have discovered that not all of the advice available on the Internet is accurate, useful, or even competent. However, if it is recommended by a hospital, you can assume that it has been vetted for competence and accuracy. Your experience with stroke survival should make you an excellent resource. Good luck. |
