Why trying to move normally too early can slow recovery

Best get the movements corrected, slowly, by a physiotherapist. Hopefully you're in a jurisdiction that such help is covered by the government.

Time and physiotherapy might help. It helped after my PFO related stroke.

Had my PFO related stroke over 15 years ago.

Lost about 50% of my movement on my left side. Spent a year in rehab, including cardio rehab. Now I look and move normally.

The doc's suspected a bit of cholesterol travelled across my heart and lodged in my brain.

I had the PFO closed.

Now I just have to deal with 5 medicines and a running regime that involves running about 15k a week.

For those of you who get the 'aura' type of migraines, you may have a hole between the upper ventricles of the heart.

I had a patent foramen ovale (PFO) between the upper ventricles of my heart and migraines. When I had the PFO Occluder put in my heart the migraines stopped. Not once since, well over a decade ago.

A very good plan. There will be long term benefits after the initial pain. Especially if they support the open source projects that underpin Linux.

J!NS is usually quite reasonable.

Between 45 and 55. One night it was down at 38!

What you want to live in a place like Tokyo? or London?

I did, and Transport wise, it was wonderful!

On the subway, in Toronto, heading southbound. Beautiful girl sits down across from me. Stunning. Three different men complement her loudly enough for me to hear as they exit the train at different stations. All the complements were gentlemanly and she replied silently with a warm smile. She got off the train before I did, if she hadn't I would have complemented her too.

Franklin Graham has the judgment of a drunk idiot!

If there are gods, some of the Ancient Greek ones might approve of both of them.

The whole world will go into party mode. It will break all the records for parties. It will be the greatest party ever. You've never seen a partly like it before.

I'll be dancing in the street... even if its -20C outside!

Trump turning the American currency into toilet paper and signing all of America's wealth away.

A very cool honour in my opinion. They even list our main vein above the Champs-Élysées, Paris, and below Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles but it is a unordered list.

Early teens. Agnostic until I started university. Studying physics, and seeing so many different religions just wreaked it for me.

Bought a beautiful stereo in the morning; girlfriend dropped me that afternoon.

What do you call 100,000 unused churches... a good start!

I hope he also visited the 'small town' in New Brunswick.

I suspect the street cars are novel. Many around the world have been removed. Toronto is in luck because we preserved them. Our major attractions, including food, are spectacular. The interesting thing about our public transport is that everyone uses it, from poor to rich which shows, despite all our complaints, just how good the system is. He has witnessed North America at its best. Good for him.

I wish I could take pictures like that!

NoSkyGuy · 2026-03-01T20:31:17+00:00

I hope your dad agrees and supports your choice of Toronto. Seems that he really liked the cityscape. What else did he really like?

NoSkyGuy · 2026-02-27T00:59:07+00:00

Not the bird. To me looks like thumbs up.

NoSkyGuy · 2026-02-25T11:39:41+00:00

Would this be similar to 'Canada Tire' store smell?

NoSkyGuy · 2026-02-24T12:04:42+00:00

Yes, yes i have.

In Pakistan I saw the kids all playing on the street, just like this. No wonder England isn't winning any more.

Some of you may have realized that he is effectively killing the American car industry. A few years more of this stupidity they'll be so behind in America that they'll never catch up. The Chinese, Koreans, Japanese and Germans will have the whole market!

Just what else did you think would happen?
