Intro

Hey guys!
because of nishas great idea, i decided to start a blog! i want to keep you all updated and share some of my experiences. so i have had a whole range of luck over the past year. some say it was because of science, some say it was because of faith,who knows. but i want to share with you guys the good - how far i have come, the bad - how far i still have to go, and the ugly - my crazy stories. i have been "locked in" for 8 months so as you can imagine, i have a lot to say! if any of you have any questions, comments,or suggestions of what i should include dont hesitate to email me. let me briefly update those of you i havent seen much: im doing well at home and i go for therapy three times a week. i have been practicing sitting,standing,biking,and strengthening my arms. i cant bhangra yet, but i can arm wrestle you like a champ! my voice is still weak and unclear,but most people can understand most of what im saying. thats about it. so my story begins with the one fact that haunts me everyday - i was 23 and i had a stroke...

  25. Harshada, from reading this, I don't need to ask how you are doing, cause I can tell that you're doing awesome! Each time I talk to prem uncle and rekha masi, they sound more cheerful and this is the reason:)
    I'm curious to know what the score is between you and anand at arm wrestling:)

  28. Bbear!

    This is amazing...It reminds me of the "You haven't lived until.." emails you would send out (which, by the way, I still have all of)...Cant wait to read your posts

    And your advice for surgery is key...made friends with the scrub nurses and they made my life a hell of a lot easier

    Thanks bbear
