I “SPOKE” (MARK TRANSLATED MY ASL) RECENTLY AT A NEURO. DOCTOR’S CONFERENCE IN OHIO. IT WENT REALLY WELL & I'LL "SPEAK" AGAIN IN FEB. SOMEWHERE ELSE 4 A NATIONAL CONFERENCE 4 THE AMERICAN STROKE ASSOCIATION. THESE R PICS FROM IT—I WAS THE ONLY ONE "SPOKE," BUT I MET ANOTHER GIRL, CRISSY (& HER FAMILY), WHO HAD THE SAME DOCTOR ALMOST 2 YRS. AGO & IS ALSO LOCKED-IN.

UPON RETURNING, ODDLY, MY DOUBLE VISION WAS WORSE, FROM NOT FOCUSING MY EYES HARD 2 READ. IT CAN STILL BE TRICKY 2 READ AT TIMES, BUT MY EYES HAVE MOSTLY ADJUSTED 2 THEIR "OLD WAYS."
