Well,
though it is bad news that your dad had a stroke, it is good that the stroke was only a mild one. Hopefully, the physical/speech therapy won't be too arduous and extensive.

Long story short.. My dad had a stroke which paralyzed his right side. Really tough road to haul after that. But, it still amazes me that he learned how to handwrite, and even paint again with his left hand.
And I learned that nursing homes, while seemingly a yucky concept to many until they are faced with such a reality in their life, are full of other such stories and interesting, loving (although sometimes forgetful) people.

Anyway, while it's tough on your dad, it also deeply impacts family. May you all get the time together you need to work through this.

THanks for all the effort you have put into your shows and blog.
