Hi Olan,
This message is especially for you . I hope that you are continuing to feel
better. I have tried to message you as a follower and that didn't work and I tried to see if you could message me by me being one of your followers and that didn't work either. I hope you will discover this special message sent via
"conversations" as I believe you would be so happy to know that I am still thinking of you and wondering how you are doing. God bless you. :)))

it is easy to unfollow on this site; God only know who I have unfollowed and have no clue. You just refollowed me in rehab a few months ago; I do remember that. So, something must have happen between then and now.
However, I am still following you. So, it is not a bilateral thingy. I have published a new short story found in my conversation page. It is me get back in my writer mode. lpf.

@gailrunschke Gail, they keep me very busy here. My days are intense within with therapy, at least 5 hours a week, meals at least 5 hours a day and other types of mental recreation activities. I do try to put out regular comments in my conversations that you should be getting if you are still subscribed to site. I do know that sometimes you get unsubscribed to my site that causes some communication problems but usually I try to put out a notice every now and then when I find the time. I'm very happy here. The room is two bedroom and has five picture windows surrounded by lakes and I enjoy it, when I had the time to enjoy it. I will have to carve out the time to write and to paint when I get better. Right now, I'm typing with speech to text which is the only reason I could be able to type and communicate with you guy.

@gailrunschke, seems if I hadn't read below and I would know more about what's going on. Smile. Cataract surgery on both eyes, wow, that's a big load. The surgery is easy usually, but it is complicated to get your rest, so I hope the best for you during this period of time. Love, peace and freedom.

@CottonJones Hi Olan, this is my most recent message from you. I've been checking regularly and am concerned that it is taking longer than usual for you to respond. You seemed to be making progress but now you seem to have regressed. Bless your heart. Hopefully you will discover this soon. I am thinking of you. However, I am having laser eye surgery tomorrow followed by cataract surgery on both eyes next month so I have a lot to cope with at this busy time of the year for me. All the best. Cheers! ~ Gail

Hi Olan,
I'm sooo sorry to read that you had a stroke on Dec. 12 and I didn't discover
this message until today, December 21. I would have been in touch with you
right away. You have probably noticed that I haven't been on Wattpad since
Nov. 11 when I reposted TRISTE NOVEMBRE. For some unknown reason I had been logged out of Wattpad and I was unsure of how to get back in. I was soooo disappointed and frustrated but I had so many commitments and
things to attend to with regard to making my winter visit to my son's for Christmas. I couldn't find anyone to help me out of my predicament and with
my flights already booked I simply had to concentrate on dealing with priorities. I'm so glad that you managed to type this paragraph to explain what has been happening. Bless your heart. I've also been attending to several friends who have been seriously ill and in hospital. I was actually starting to panic because I didn't think I could do all that I needed in time to
make my flight. Fortunately the weather cooperated and we didn't have any major snowfalls so I didn't have to cope with shoveling out my driveway
( only about 6 to !0 cms of snow here and there which only takes me about
20 minutes). Hopefully this message reaches you and is sufficient to explain
what predicament I have been facing.
Anyway I did make it to Tony's and Just now He helped me solve my Wattpad
problem so I am now able to communicate again.
God bless you, my friend. : ))) I hope you will soon be back to business and
I can keep in touch. Take care of yourself and don't push yourself too hard.
Regards... Cheers!!! Gail

@gailrunschke I want to tell you that had a stroke this last 12th of December. I Woke up in the morning and couldn't type There are other things that were happening but I was unaware of them. There were other things that were going on with me but I was unaware of them at the moment it but they do get myself to the hospital. I am still in the hospital and looking to get out on the 26th of December where I will go to rehab facility For nursing care. They will keep me in as long as possible to get me back into my Apt. I am using speech to text write this I did manage to write small paragraph of four sentences and that is the most that I've been able to do. I am determined to get things straight in my mind and able to think properly. The stroke was small and was not devastating and as far as my Paralysis. I was lucky. They just had an announcement so I'm sorry about extra text that was inserted but it is easier to insert it than brace it to it this time I hope you have a happy holiday.
