After a stroke, you have to practice your hand jobs. (reply)

Yeah, piano and guitar are both good recovery therapies (as long as you don't overdo it, obviously.) Piano requires a little more finesse and fretting a guitar requires strength and mobility.

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Hit me up any time you need to give that hand some physical therapy!
Yes, I'm fully aware of how that sounds.

No, but seriously. A friend of mine got pretty awfully screwed up in Iraq, and some people in my family have had strokes. All I hear is that if you practice moving a lot you can recover well if you're lucky.

My friend regained almost all his motion back in his left arm by playing baseball (in the beginning he would have to hold up his left arm with his right; hilarious), learning piano, and playing video games.

His hand jobs (so he called them) every day were:
1. Play piano.
2. Play video games.

I liked the video game part because it meant I could beat him in Halo 3, when I couldn't before.

Hello. I've finally come home from the hospital/rehab today. lots to catch up on. Have not tried to use destiny yet. Still have some lost of usage in my hand so I'm not to sure how well i will play but i might get on in a few days and see. i don't think ill be able to do anything that requires serious play but i might be able to serve as a fifth wheel on any light play team. We'll have to see.

thanks for all the well wishes before. I enjoyed the portrait of my guardian while i was in the hospital (i had my ipad so i was able to browse the forums through wifi occasionally.) I'll have to see if i can find it again to save it now that I'm home.

Here ya go!

Hope you keep feeling better, man.

Sparrow Racing is the thing to do this week, so not a whole lot of twitch reflexes needed, which should help. :)
It's fun, and rewarding! (Rank 3 gets you up to 320 Light helmets and Class items!)

Welcome back! This is a good week to play casually! (reply)
