My wife is doing pretty good. Once they cut her bp meds she started to return to somewhat normal. First few days home were scary . She was unable to walk , and really confused . She would just sit around with stroke face , looking lost . She still has a long way to go , but things are looking up .
She is kind of loopy still, but honestly , if she never gets any better than she is right now, I can live with it . I am sure there is a lot more improvement to come
I got the dates mixed up on one of her Dr appointments yesterday , so we had the afternoon to kill . We drove up to the reservoir , found a nice quiet place to park, and just took a few hours off of life to breathe in a beautiful fall day here in Pa . We sat and talked about old times, and times to come . It was the first time she was out of the house other than for doctors appointments . I think she enjoyed it
Its amazing the regular every day things that she forgets, but has perfect memories of the most random stuff . DLRs' Yankee Rose came on the radio on the way home, and she sang it word for word. I bet she has not heard that song since 1988.
I want to , and need to pay your kindness forward somehow, so when the next time comes around that we have someone in need here Ill be itching to step up .
Thank you again guys, the best
Fred

I think you have this backwards. This was paid forward to you.

On a side note, I can help with your XT any time. I have, by necessity, become very familiar with them. If I were closer, I would take it home and get it running for ya.

Not much to say that hasn't been said already. Of course we're all wishing you & you family the very best.

And for those unfamiliar with the DLR video, I thought the opening was hilarious.

And press on, good Sir!

Give me a bottle of anything... and a glazed donut... to go!!!!!

Today at work we were listening to '80's Tesla' channel on internet radio. Lots of stryper glam rock type stuff. Now-mind you- I didn't choose the station, but it was kind of fun. *edit- a bunch of fun* Then I catch up on PPOT and this came up. Good to see DLR didn't entirely escape that era, but he darn sure kicked ass in it! Good stuff!

Fred- If she's loving the 80's stuff, pull up some more! It sure is therapeutic as hell for me! Rock on Fred!!!!!

Thinking of you today Fred when I stopped by to see my mechanic, Ivan. Always interesting to see the stuff he and his son are working on. The Indy shops are what made America great!

^That's a great pic. Our Volvo indee is named "Georgie"

He's the only guy I know to pull apart an aisin 5 speed and try to fix it! Kudos! (sorry wish I had pics/ it was like tetris from hell) Go indees!

This pic matches his determinedness exactly!

He was telling me how he hates that car (to his left) - problems with the fuel injection and bunch of other stuff I forgot. He's already done a bunch of work on it and it keeps showing up like a bad penny...lol.

I told him he should just tell the guy not to bring it in anymore. He laughed....

Here's some pics I took of it over a year ago at Ivan's previous shop.......

I met the owner the day the pics were taken in 2020 - he's a motorman (owns a motorcycle repair/restoration business).

Speaking of Volvos.......hey Ron.......look......racing stripes!
