three strikes out, seven strokes fighting back

[Jaap]

Last spring we had plans to go to america for a holiday with our daughter, who is living in NY.
2 days before departure I was hospitalised with, as the MRI scans showed, 7 brain strokes and a paralysed left side.
After several weeks, early MaY, I was dismissed from the hospital. With the loving support of my wife, we started a recovery program. There was at that moment no support from the hospital. She made every day a new list with things to do. And now I am able to use my left hand almost a good as before. I'm now confident to dismantle a movement. Last week I replaced a glassdoor form a French mantle clock and made from brass a lid for the back. I'm back.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
At this moment I'm working on a Koma anniversary clock, wich has a broken suspension spring and misadjusted pallets. After replacing the spring and adjusting the pallets, the clock is happily ticking. This clock is a gift to the charityshop. Only thing to do is cleaning the brass. All This will help to train my left arm from a neglect.
