16: Walking by the Lake

Near my home, there is a lake. I usually jogged 3-4 laps, before it got too dark. After I was hit by stroke more than a year ago, my first lap was with a wheel chair!

After I could walk, I jogged 1/4 lap first then 1/2 lap, 1 lap and the last thing 2 was laps. I believed I could do 3 laps, but my walk is too slow now. It's been too hot or too dark for me if I do 3 laps. 

Here's the pic when I did my first lap by walking after my sickness.

4: Learning to Write

A few weeks after I was diagnosed with stroke, I tried to write down a phone number shown in a TV commercial, but I couldn't. Even the number zero, I couldn't write it down. Then I requested a book and a pen for me to train my handwriting and signature. It took around 4 months, and I had to come to the bank and signing a document.

My signature was declared OK by the bank, and considered same as the specimen they kept.

Here's the footage:

“If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.
