Lisa’s Turn: Henry’s Recovery, The Rose Bowl, and Newtown, CT
- Dec
- 15
Henry has graciously allowed me to claim some of his prized blog space and reflect on the year of 2012 as it draws to a close. During the last twelve months, living with me and my husband, Bob, Henry’s gotten stronger and more opinionated while recovering from his stroke. It’s been a joy to witness. I […]
My First Movie Review: “LINCOLN” Deserves an A+
- Dec
- 12
I’ve not been inside a movie theatre for more than a decade. Between being hard of hearing and my macular degeneration, not to mention there not being any subject matter I found compelling, I’ve been limited to television and books on tape. When I heard Bob and Lisa talking about “Lincoln,” a new movie they’d […]

Thoughts on Being Thankful
- Nov

One year ago I suffered a moderate stroke. The hospital where I was admitted in the Conejo Valley in California, was ready to discharge me before I could stand with a walker. Lisa, my durable power of attorney for healthcare, fought for my right to continue to receive additional treatment (she won.) I was transferred to […]

In Honor of Sylvia and All Humankind: DNA & Longevity Studies

Today I had a blood draw. Four small test tubes now hold about four ounces of my 100 year-old blood. It wasn’t taken for me. It was taken by a lab technician resembling Conan O’Brien (with the humor to match.) I have given these blood samples, that hopefully hold some unique information, to the Archon Genomics X […]
A Relic, Just Like Me

I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to take a ride in this old fire engine, built in 1939. Kevin Berry, of Reno, Nevada, drove me around town on my last visit to the area in last month. Lisa’s cousin is a great driver (just a little heavy on the siren when we’re in the country; apologies to the […]

Jeff Cooper, MPT (www.recooperationPT.com) is my physical therapist (Newbury Park, California) who I met last year after I suffered a moderate stroke which took away my peripheral vision and impaired my sense of balance.
