Read this story today. I hesitated to read it at first because my Beloved Mother suffered a stroke in 19 and died from one in 20. I went through all the physical, occupational and speech therapy with Her and saw Her-through Her own strenght and determination- regain Her speech and Her use of Her right arm and, to a certain extent, the use of Her legs. Rehabilitative therapy was a huge help. And I felt very much for Sam in this story before Bobby arrived because it was very, very hard to deal with the care of a stroke victim alone. But Dean's youth and physical condition definitely gave him a step up to recovery and Sam and Bobby were a huge help. You wrote the characters extremely well and did a great job portraying the actual agony of a stroke and the very long emotional and physical journey it takes to gain any recovery from one. I just hope you didn't have to use any personal experience to be able to write it. Thanks for the story and I am off to find another one by you.

FANTASTIC!

Very good story. I usually read stories that are Sam!centric. But this one was really good.

Toodles!

Amazing story! You have just no idea how I was laughing myself silly at the set up the brother had prepared for Cassie. And the two boys were pulling off magnificent performances. Way to go for creativity!

Enjoyed it, thank you :-)

Fantabulous story, amiga. I love how they played Cassie. I always love it when they descend into alter-egos on the show, makes things so fantastically funny (my fav ep where they did that was Nightmare... the priest costumes were just priceless.)

I gotta love how Sam and Dean interact - it's always so wonderfully... sibling.

Ah... The expected twist surfaces, and it wasn't what I thought it'd be... Good show! I like being right, but I like surprises more.

*scurries off to finish the story*

I love it when I'm right; it makes me feel all warm and tingly.

Just guessing here, but if I were Dean, I'd be target-practicing. 'Cause if my aiming hand was out of commission and I had Dean's life, I'd definitely be working to improve my aim with my non-aiming hand (I know that sounds weird, but I'm ambidextrous... sorta. I do some things right-handed, like sign my name, but other things I do with my left, like shoot a bow or rifle.)

I repeat my earlier comment on Bobby. And I gotta feel a little sorry for Sam, getting all caught in the middle like that.

I *heart* Bobby. I wonder if he realizes just how hard Dean can punch with his left arm?

'Stubborn' is illustrated in the Aurilia's New Millennium Dictionary by a picture of Dean Winchester. *Happy sigh* Don't we just love our green-eyed man?

Good of Sam to think to include the disclaimer. I'm sure he'll eventually need it.

OMFG. Dean, Dean, Dean... You'll never learn, will you? Sigh. See previous review.
