How's your handwriting? I know that my handwriting doesn't look like it did before the stroke. Before the stroke, I used to write in cursive and fast. Now, I print everything, and I write really slow. I am so glad that they have a students with disabilities program at my college. This service will help me with taking notes, since I write slow. I think they'll have someone go to my class and take my notes for me. I'm so glad that my handwriting has improved. When I first came home (in January 2000), I could barely read my own handwriting. Now, I can read it and so can the people at the post office (the other day, I wrote the addresses on my mail, and they must have understood my handwriting because it went to the right address).

One reason we began to suspect that my mother had a minor stroke was the decline in her handwriting. A neighbor pointed it out to us, actually, because evidently it is quite common.
How fast is your typing . . . can you bring a laptop to classes? Or tape record?

I can't type. The school does allow us to bring tape recorders to class (I used to do that before my stroke, and am thinking about doing that when I return).
