It's been 32 days and 4 hours since I had my stroke.  I would be considered a lucky one - I do not have any loss of movement.  I can speak and think almost as well as I ever did.  I have lost some sensation down my right side but otherwise I am physically much the same as I ever was.
Psychologically and emotionally though, I am changed.  How I see myself, how I look at my family, friends and the world is different.  What exactly is different, I'm not sure but I know for certain that something has changed and that's why I'm blogging.
So how to deal with uncertainty?  How to cope with the very real fear of not waking up each morning, of not knowing whether today might be like 22 October 2012 when my world tilted and the view changed? These questions and others I will work through as time progresses.
