Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

I was in Anchorage in the 70's and would love to go back again some day. I am so sorry that your trip was ended in this manner. Consider you seeing AK just delayed and work on getting stronger. Take care.
Do all of the PT exercises they give you. Tiring yes, but the more you do the more new pathways your brain will make and the quicker you'll be back to doing all of the things you want to do.

From someone else who had plans interrupted due to a medical emergency, I'm sending prayers for a speedy recovery your way. Take it easy and one day at a time and you WILL get back on your feet.

Prayers for a full and speedy recovery!! Having dealt with both my mother and father having minor strokes many years ago, can say that correct PT and pushing as far as you can each session is the key.

My sister had a stroke a while back. She worked her butt off in rehab and now, you can't even tell she had one.
Work hard and the brain figures out how to send out the messages via different paths.
Prayers to you and good luck in the recovery process. Remember, you will have days where you think you can't do what is being asked. Those are the days you try even harder and don't succumb to giving up!

However, there is still time to change the configuration, just a plan.
Like the others, our prayers are with you as well. Life is full of little setbacks, so do as the others advised and embrace the physical therapy and other treatments and then get back out there.
God bless you and your family.

You are SO brave. I'm sorry your Alaska trip was deferred, but sending prayers and our very best wishes you'll be back on the road very soon. Sounds like good advice you're getting from friends on here....hang in there!
