2011: The Year of Recovery

Larry is dubbing this the year of recovery. I can get behind that.

A cliché, I know, but I'm actually going to join a gym, the Challenge Center. After my stroke, I have to exercise regularly. My doctor just increased my dosage of Baclofen, so I'm optimistic that it will allow me to exercise with little pain and more mobility. Too much exercise and it's just like muscle soreness. I used to get sore in stretch class, so it's like that and I can't overdue it.

I'm actually excited to be going because they'll do an assessment with a physical therapist and I will have goals to achieve. I can't get any more specific because I don't know what is possible in what time frame. I just know it's a long process that takes patiences.
