This posting is directed to the TT members that have suffered the physical handicap of a stroke.  On Wednesday, June 11 (my 60th birthday), I spent my first night ever as a patient in the hospital.  I am lucky, as it was a mild stroke.  I have my speech, hearing, vision, taste, smell.  However my entire left side is numb and feels asleep.  I had a blood clot on the right side of my brain.  Hopefully in 30-60 days my feeling will return, no guarantee.

At this time when I grip a club with my left hand (I am RH) the shaft feels like a spaghetti noodle.  There is no sense of touch.  On Friday I was at the golf club on the putting green and short game area.  I had no sense of balance on my left side, as if I had vertigo.  There was no way to find the ball with left hand only, but using both hands I could putt and pitch after a couple of hours practice.  By Sunday I was attempting half swings on the course.  I will continue to work on my game several days a week.  I will return to this posting to document my progress. 

I would like to hear from TT members that used the game of golf as physical therapy to regain use of their limbs which have no feeling in them.
