• Eric and I interviewed Rob D., a resident at Sunny Acres. He had a stroke and is now paralyzed on one side of his body. He is 61 years old. He likes to play cards/games and garden. He can walk fairly well with a cane, but one leg is gimpy. He can only use his right arm. He would like to be able to walk well again. He wants to be able to get better and work at the nursing home, even though we know that is not going to happen. ~Lauren
