yikes A brief period of neuroplasticity must be taken advantage of...

Post stroke? Here's hoping good things for you.

Wishing you a good recovery.

Thank you. I'm not used to "putting it out there", I'm usually very guarded. It was... Nearly six months ago. I'm physically. Hmmm. Dizzy, fatigued, eye sight is wonky, manual dexterity is off. Mentally? Can't find the words. Neurological impact and fatigue, processing. Stuff. Can't work. Tried, but went back too soon and burnt out. Oops.

Decluttering now. Turned off the mainstream Internet. Degoogled years ago. Now switching to slower (not dumb), less invasive services and devices: e-readers, fediverse, gemini. Conscious choices that have the opportunity to amplify the isolation but bring peace.

Now lurking to get a feel of gemini space. Your kind words are appreciated!

Good to see you are around. I hope your recovery is going well.

Thanks. Nearly ten months down. Hands are better. Still fatigued. But getting there.
