Thank you.

In fairness, I did hear from some people, just not very many. I spent a lot of lonely hours in those hospitals. Since I could barely sleep, I was awake most of the night with no one to communicate with. It would have been nice to have emails to write.

But that was long ago, nearly five years. Although my life stopped when I had a stroke, it didn't end. I'm moving in new directions now. I've been interviewed by a national organization and been a guest speaker at a couple of events. I'm creating my own videos about my recovery. https://www.youtube.com/@srlucado/videos
I have made new friends and colleagues, and those old friends who did stick with me are closer than ever.

Most of all, my wife has been angelic, infinitely patient and supportive, and has never once complained.

Life is good. Not easy, but good.
