Strokes

Probably the only self-portrait I'll do. Quite difficult to post this.

A few hours into my strokes. Right-hand side gone, leg, arm and face. Hence goofy grin.

The Gardener was quick to get me to Emergency dept of Ottawa Civic, so had clot-busting tPA in the first couple of hours. And first class intensive care on NOA ward. Oh, and minor brain surgery to help with the swelling. But I'm ahead (geddit?) of myself.

While I feel like I'm 79, it should make a full recovery to my 39 years. We shall see.
