Episodes

  1. Speeches.

    Ugh it’s been a while. It’s not you, it’s us. We are irresponsible casters. Here we go again, back to podcasting.

  2. Slow, Smooth, Strong, Fast

    The order of importance for physical recovery or perfecting any physical skill in general. Also happens to be good love life advice but that’s not what this episode is about.

  3. Writing on the wall

    A goofy look at care giver and care receiver relationships. This podcast starts out serious and slow but devolves into a raging mess:)

  4. The Glad Game

    Getting back into posting and having fun. Also reasons NOT to get a dog.

  5. The Lost Episode

    Unposted from the beginnings of summer.

  6. Christmas trees in June

    Yeah...

    Recovery update, hulk like episodes, focusing on therapy in a new world order.

  8. Stark Heart

    Christines b-day. Struggling with guilt for not engaging more. Walks in the woods. Weird pondering.

  14. No handlebars

    Head & shoulders knees & toes, knees & toes.

    A pile of information. Adjustment disorder, brain tumors, co-contractions and amazon purchases.

    Fun. Random stuff. Moving forward.

  25. 10/9 Stroked! 2.4 Bill Watterson is a genius.

    The real deal.

  26. 10/6 Stroked! 2.3 Deer in the Headlights.

  29. 9/5 Stroked! Pt.20 Christine rides out of town.

    Debated if we should put this one up but here it is a little late. Obviously we are already back. So.. see you soon.

  30. 9/4 Stroked! Pt.19 No giggling in the deep end.

    This should be entertaining. Apologies for the last podcast. We are not always at our best here.

  31. 9/3 Stroked! Pt.17 Testing 123.

    Sorry this one is really disjointed which you will either find entertaining or annoying. No in between.

    The yucky side of things.

    New friends leave, insurance companies are monsters, Christine winks and Kit breaks a treadmill.

  35. 8/27 Stroked! Pt. 14 Trash Satchel

    A home made trash satchel, acts of service is not Kit’s jam, Christines stabby device and very bad very good kids.

  43. 8/15 Stroked! Pt. 6 Van Ride

    Christine takes a ride and a dog makes her cry and other weird stuff getting into Rehab.

  44. Stroked! Pt. 5 Bruised up to date.

    Brings it up to date(mostly). After this Christine is off to PT. She did this one before and angiogram that reviewed.... nothing. Last test no answers.

  45. Stroked! Pt. 4 Bacon Puree

    Yes you heard that right Bacon puree. The most direct way to receive Bacon in a stroke ward.

  46. Stroked! *bonus episode* Paper & Potatoes

    Just more weird stuff like potatoes making Christine cry.

  47. Stroked Pt. 3. Smile! Getting your humor back.

    Random odd experiences along the way to present.

  48. Stroked Pt. 2. A trip from Er to ICU. Correction of term: TPA not TAP medicine.

    Pretty tired in this one. Maybe there is something to be gleaned. Next 2 (pre recorded) we are more awake in. Definitely this is helping her mind to clarify her situation. Usually she passes right out after 20min of talking, but I think it’s helping her to have a project. Forgive our weirdness.

  49. Stroked! What happens when you stroke out at 36.

    A first person(s) account of Christine Christopherson’s journey for all the homies back in OH or anyone who would appreciate a rambling and story. We’ll tell it weird... like the cover pic.
