Default rcwelch First drive in almost a month...JOY

On October 3, I suffered a stroke and with all of your prayers and well wishes and with the help of my wife today, I took my first drive in my baby. It was short, but what a feeling of joy to be able to do that. I had worried that the battery would be dead, but she fired right up. I have had several follow up visits to the doctor and it seems as if I have no lasting effects ( other than I dropped 20 pounds...hurray). I want to thank all of you who sent me well wishes thru a thread earlier and although I'm weak , I'M BACK!
THANK YOU ALL.

Welcome back! You can increase your dosage of 993 Therapy as you regain
strength. One will help feed the other!

Well done Randy.

Don't forget to take your medication... (a type of poison normally used to keep rat infestations in check) Sounds cynical but true.

Well done again mate.

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! So glad that you are feeling much better. There is no better therapy in the world (other than maybe a hug and a kiss from your better half) then getting out in your car and going for a drive no matter weather it's around the block or across the country.
