Had a small stroke scare this afternoon. I got these weird spasms in my left arm much like I did when I had a sizable stroke in November 2024.

Then realized I had pretty much just pinched a nerve from lying awkwardly on my left side all morning. Nevertheless, I made sure to take my blood pressure drugz and popped a few low-dose aspirin just in case. Checked my BP and it was absolutely normal.

I've been quiet but working hard. I'm now taking bigger steps when walking and can even take a few steps without the cane; and I'm now able to write very slowly, use a fork or spoon, and floss my teeth. Long way to go still, but some small victories. It's been almost 5 months. #strokesurvivor

We were on our way to the village parks department fitness when we caught the beginning of TED Radio Hour episode, β€œFuture You.”

We worked out a little and swam, being kind to our future selves by committing to exercise.

I worked my left leg hard!
