Stroke Update – Jan 14, 2013

A few months ago I created a little video with the help of Judy and my grandkids, called “Cane Golf“. It was in late August, exactly three months after I had my stroke, and a little less than two months after I came home.

It’s easy to lose perspective when you’re going through something like this. You can see that I was still using a cane, and unable to “swing” it using two hands. My left hand had started to move, but still had no strength, and I could not raise my left arm enough to “swing it” at all.

Things have improved quite a bit since then. I made a little video today demonstrating that I can now actually hit a golf ball fairly consistently, and you can see that while my guitar playing is certainly nothing to write home about, it’s a lot better than it was just a couple of months ago.
