Same here. I can't tie that particular mouse pattern period. Not that I have ever tried, but I don't think I could. Don. I'm glad you are making progress and hope you have a full recovery. From knowing what my brother in law went through after having a stroke at only 46 yrs old, it will be VERY hard, but just listen to, and do what the various therapists tell you to do and you can make kt.

You are certainly making fast progress. Well done! Neville (Nev) Gosling ~~~ On Aug 7, 2018, at 16:24, DonO <f...@tribcsp.com> wrote: To my friends at the VFB - an update and some good news. My recovery from the stroke is going very well and quickly. Feeling a little better each day, but it still feels like I was rode hard and put up wet. I have 'issues' with the entire right side of my body, but therapy has given me limited use of the affected areas. I have progressed to a cane for walking, but I'm nowhere mobile yet. My eyesight will take time, but I'm told it will recover- hopefully back to normal. No hope of tying a #32 RC right now. 40% blind (the right side of each eye gone). So that leaves my right hand- the real meat of this memo. I decided to challenge it and myself by tying a mouse pattern as my first try. A 1-hour tie took over 20 hours- lost track of time. Just threading the bobbin took an hour (spastic muscles with no feeling), tying an anchor took 2 hours. You get the picture- not pretty. But out of it crawled Percy (for 'perseverance'). He's not too tightly wrapped, but that applies to the tier also. But he looks good for a Baits Hotel resident. Joyce knows what this fly represent in stroke therapy just 3 months in. Next- rope dubbing. Working on my fly casting also. Not pretty either. Neither is my penmanship. But I did manage to draw a fly if anyone wants to see my 'Picasso'.
