Subject: Re: [VFB] PRogress from Don Ordes To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Date: Friday, May 25, 2018, 1:07 PM To all my friends on vfb.. THANKS FOR ALL OFF YOUR PRAYERS AND WELL WISHES. it's me, well, a good part of me anyway. The stroke hit my right half (left side of brain) so lost all movement and feeling on right side of my body. also lost the vision on right side of both eyes. so I'm typing with left hand with a small arc of vision. This is my 1st email work since stroke. I've been home two weeks now and am progressing with therapy and recovery very well according to therapists. Using my right hand for some things, but still have no feeling, which is weird. I am doing some walking therapy, but again no feeling. Hope all feeling comes back with time. Still have appt. with eye doctor next week. Hope he can do something. Don't know about the numbness in my face, will have to check later- big fallout of that is drooling at times, and then the constant numbness.. Had to sell the new home we just bought to get a single level. All went amazingly fast and well. Will post new address soon. Can't tell you how much of a blessing it is to have a fantastic wife who stepped up to the plate as hit nothing but homers since that night. My incredible sister came up from Mesa as has been an a incredible helper for both Cheryl and me. Alan DiSomma is due here Sunday and we will be discussing my fly business and what of mine to sell. Plus we'll discuss fate of video projects. All input is welcome. Have no idea on what I'll recover after time, but I have a lot to get sold to simplify and cover meds. Well, at the limit of my endurance for now. Took over an hour for this 5 minute email. As you can imagine, I have a lot of recovery time on my hands, so reading emails from my friends would be much appreciated and great for my mental therapy. Hope you are all having wonderful summers.

I have a friend in my fishing club that also suffered a stroke that was followed my more strokes and it came as a complete shock to everybody. He like Don is still in hospital.

Thank you so much for all the kind well wishes and words. I was able to open Don's email and we read all of your messages to him, as he is unable to read much. He asked me to thank everyone and to say hello. He is still recovering in the therapy unit of St. Al's hospital in Boise. When he had the stroke he lost the use of the right side of his body. So his arm and hand, leg, and even his vision on the right half of his body were all affected (he can see out of both eyes, but only from his nose to his left side). Unfortunately he is right handed, so using his left hand for everything is also difficult by itself. However, he is steadily making progress in his recovery and has regained the ability to move his limbs and use them to some extent. He still requires a great deal of assistance to get up and move, but the therapists are optimistic that he will continue to improve. Only time will tell how much capability he will recover. He is scheduled to be released from the hospital to go home this Thursday, but we will continue with having therapists come in to work with him to help with his rehab. Again, thank you all for your kind words and support, I will continue to monitor his emails and forward your thoughts and questions to him. Thank you.
