Strokesville
On June 16, 2016, I suffered a stroke. It was bad enough that they called an ambulance to take me from the prison to a hospital in Gainesville, Florida—but not serious enough to keep me in the hospital, as I was returned to my cell that very day. Right now, I am on the first floor in a handicap cell (P-2128). Which is better for me as I am still weak and only have about 40% use of my left arm and leg. I am growing stronger daily and hope to be better soon.
Thank you,
Milo Rose

I've never written you before, but I hope you get well soon. :) Hopefully, when you get this letter you'll be feeling perfectly fine again. Well - as fine as you can in prison at least...

How tough it must be to be going through the aftermath of a stroke in prison! I hope you are feeling better by now and getting stronger each day.
I send you my best well-wishes,
j.
Your welcome! End of the year, damn, that's actually long. Are you just physically weak until then or what's "not normal"? Sorry for my ignorance, I don't really know anything about having strokes..
I read a little bit, but you write a lot about religion and I'm actually an atheist so I don't much to say there to be honest, sorryyy.
But if you want to write more with me I'm happy to answer any questions you might have for me?:)
Also, no need to be so formal! (With the "respectfully") I should actually be the one who does that, since I'm a lot younger than you.. :P
Hope you're doing well

My mom had a stroke, a small one, but it took her a long time to get back to normal, so I know how it goes. Hope you continue to do well. The panic attacks are understandable, especially in your situation. Have you ever tried any breathing techniques or meditation for relaxation? That might help.
Best wishes,
J.
Yeah! It did find me well, thank you. :) Although I do have a slight cold. Damn everyone in my class for getting sick and infecting me..:P
Yeah, it made sense! How old are you exactly?
Maybe I just didn't read correctly... I'm going to take a look at your older posts.
It's nice to see that you're understanding though. Many religious people instantly hate atheists.:x
Actually, can you tell me more about spirituality? It sounds interesting at least. :)
I can't really say that I'm an optimist. There's just so much wrong in this world, so I think it's hard to be completely positive. But I'm trying! That's a reason why I'm on this page, writing convicts. I don't believe that people are completely evil (most of them at least) - I don't like thinking black and white like that, you know. So I'm definitly with you on the good overcoming evil part. :)
I'll try to read more, can't promise the whole blog though!
Well, depending on what you want me to help me with, I guess I can. Maybe. I actually don't know if I'm able to - I mean, I'm not even American. x) But I'll try!
Stay well,
Jamie
Sorry for taking so long to answer! And I'm really sorry but I'm afraid a can't do anything about your finances.
Don't forget, I'm just a student. I don't have any money myself... :D
What do you mean by direct contact?
Take care,
Jamie
