Good afternoon! My name is Jesse, I am Dana’s son. Dana had a stroke a month ago and is currently recovering in a physical therapy rehab center in Schenectady NY. He wanted me to post and tell you guys that he considers you all family. He will be reading this forum from now on but might not be able to respond for a while. Please send him messages! He says he loves you all! ------------- Blue Skies and Tail Winds Dana |

Dana, I had a stroke November 15, 2020. Did 24 days in hospital of which 20 days was really for rehab. Rehab got me back to walking with a hemi-cane. Went home and did local rehab with our hospital group and got to walking without a cane or help in 2 or 3 months. Therapy got my left arm moving in about 6 months. Why so long winded? Just to let you know that with work, you can get out there and put up some more hay. Do your therapy and get well soon.
