Yes, sir, it is true…but could come in very handy for the bagpipe! I am almost certain people would prefer bagpipe to my soap box sermons!

Simon, I’ve given you a couple of heads-up on a great tool for grip and Matthew seconded the usefulness of it. I think you still haven’t’ read it?
It is under the thread I started “My right Hand”. I included a video.
Keep working with the scissors, keep trying. It took me a while.
My left hand is just a helper: can’t write with it or draw or paint. It holds a cane well though, when I need it.

@SimonInEdinburgh Yes: and the video is quite good. I have 3 strengths of these. I am still on the weakest. lol

Left side which is not my dominant side but I had taught myself to use my left side to throw a baseball when I tore my right rotator cuff. So now, at 65, I don’t play baseball anymore…lol…nor was I that good in the first place.
Wondering if anyone else commemorates the anniversary of their stroke? I am taking a trip today to celebrate one year–my wife calls it our “Strokeaversary”. God bless all of you here–this Forum has been an inspiration to making it one year and still being somewhat sane.

Yes. It is good to see how things are handled here and over there. It has been a great experience on the Forum.

I am your neighbor in Indiana. But, pray tell, does anyone know what a Hoosier is?
Not really, but nice try! It didn’t mention the most common guess in these parts…When the Louisiana purchase was made, many people moved to or through Indiana on a land grab. When they would come across other travelers they would ask where they were from (assumedly Kentucky). Then, in trying to find a connection, they would ask. “Whose your Daddy?” to see if they knew of them from a former place. Just a friendly gesture. The answer is no one knows, but in the end it doesn’t really matter.

my stroke affected my right hand side ,im very lucky in that i can use my weaker side nearly as much as my dominant side , sometimes i think that maybe a hinderance more than a help

@daveymitch Hi, I am in the same boat as you. Was doing well but then spasticity set in.
I wish you a good recovery.

I’m not sure anyone really knows what a Hoosier is but I do appreciate the fact that it’s only in Indiana!

WE are called the Garden State, you wouldn’t know it if you lived in Newark or Elizabeth. I’m lucky to live in beautiful Northwest NJ. My painting up top shows that.
I’ve been to Indianapolis a very cool city. Gary??? not so cool. 
Best of health and recovery to you.

Garden State is a good movie. The soundtrack is awesome. Closest I have been is Virginia Beach. Maybe I will make it there one day. Supposed to be going to DC the first week of May. Maybe I will make it then. I am sure I will be making a stop in Maryland near the coast on the way there or back to visit a friend at her farm.
