Hooray! Yay for Ogre-mom! She sounds like a strong, strong woman. May she continue getting better and better! ---

I’ll bet she looked nine feet tall. That’s awesome. We’re pulling for y’all. ---

Hey, everybody! Thanks for the warm wishes and the expressions of support! She still has a long way to go and several other problems with which to cope (she’s diabetic, for one thing,) but I’m happy to see that her native obstinacy has reasserted itself. **Nym** , butterscotch pudding sounds great, but I was thinking of making her some sugar-free banana-nut ice cream. 🙂 ---

Oh, man, that’s awesome, **Ogre**. Your post makes me wish I could’ve been there to see it. Tell her I totally admire her. ---

My heart was in my throat reading that, dear **Ogre**. I’m so very, very happy that she’s on the road to recovery now. Many wonderful thoughts and prayers winging your way, for you, **Ogre-mom** , and the rest of the Ogre family. You have always given me the bestest hugs, my friend; here are some for you and your momma. {{{{{{Ogre}}}}}} {{{{{{Ogre-mom}}}}}} _[sub]Even if you do call me George and turn me upside down._[/sub] 😛 ---

Thanks again, **king of spain** , **Tranquilis** , and **purrplebear**. Hey **purp** , it makes me smile that you remember that thread. 🙂 That must have been my first appearance at SDMB. ::Ogre-hug for purp:: ---

Sincere best wishes and prayers for her recovery and for strength for all the **Ogre** family as she regains her strength and coordination. I know nothing can be more of a strain than seeing a loved one laid low by a stroke, and my prayers are with you. And, because right about now you need a good laugh to help ease the strain, and in hopes that you’ll share it with her if her sense of humor would make it funny to her… When I looked at the MPSIMS menu, this thread was preceded by a GQ-y question about the late Queen Mother, resulting in: > [@](#): > > Was the Queen Mum in the coffin all that time? > She stood up!

Great news! Be sure you do your best to keep her spirits up. That’s the hard part. I know from experience it’s all to easy for stroke patients to fall into depression and never come back (happened to my father).
