    I know you will never give up so that you finally will be rewarded to recover as much of the 25% still left.

    Good for you Pat! That "can do spirit" is indispensable for a recovery like that but also for any kind of success we achieve in life. I love to be around over comers, complainers can take a hike.

    I had the stroke at my home in Bacong. My father-in-law rode his motor bike to the Bacong fire station, a kilometer from my house, to ask for their ambulance. The ambulance came with only a driver so my FiL and BiL loaded me in and took me to Siliman Hospital.

    "I don't accept that and will keep working toward a full recovery."

    The power of a positive attitude is under rated!

    I have been reading your posts for quite a while and never knew about your medical condition. That's awesome!

    Keep up the physical therapy and positive attitude!
