G'day Randy :-) Sorry to hear you had such a rough time. From the way you write your posts you still seem to have a positive attitude which is great. How do you dot that?!

It is a pleasure to meet you. What drug regime have the docs got you on? How has the stroke affected you?

Welcome to the forum!

Hello Andrew: Good to here from you! YES I AM POSIVE ABOUT MY SITUATION! WHEN I was told i had WG my family and I were very sad because I have never had any majior health concerns. My son and I own our own business and for the last 5 yrs. have put our all into it. Now not being able to handle my part, we are considering closing down.
About 1 month after the WG showed up I had a majior stroke that affected my left side of my body, I could not walk or use my left arm. After about 1 year of PT i am able to walk some with a cane but left arm has not come back complely.
Our life has been pure HELL in every way, I COULD NOT BUY MY WAY OUT OF THIS. Being raised in a christian home as a child, and going my own way as a adult i soon found out how much I needed christ back in my life, Andrew I hit rock bottom and family and few friends were there to help me, but the lord was there for me and all of my progress I give him credit for it! I have made great progress and expect to be back better than I was before. IF ANY OF YOU ARE AT THE BOTTOM PLEASE READ, READ ,READ THE BOOK OF JOB I PROMISE YOU WILL LOOK AT YOURSELF IN A DIFFRENT WAY! I have found out I could have all the wealth in the world and still be unhappy. NOW I LIVE DAY TO DAY AND EXPECT TO RECOVER COMPLETLY. I dont want to preach to any one but this is how I deal with this every day.

I have not heard from many people in this forum but I pray for you all for a speedy recovery and good health in the furture.
