DREAM - Paralyzed

I suffered a stroke and had some disability with the right side of my body, namely signing my name. I could do other things, but signing my name was extremely difficult. I discovered this when we had to sign a bunch of papers for the house refinancing, and my signature was quite large and didn't look like my real signature at all. I told the woman who was going through the signing with us that I couldn't sign my name because of my stroke, and she, unsympathetically, said "try anyway." I felt like I was using my left hand. Then Stan and I were out late at night and were getting together with Lamya and Russ to go out to eat or something. For some odd reason, I had a large painting in my car that I was able to carry just fine, even though my ride side was disabled. Weird.

Stan and I had a whole bunch of frogs (IRL we kept two of the chorus frogs we raised from tadpoles, but released the other 9) but they were more like mice. They were colored like mice, black, white, grey, brown. I lifted up the cover to their cage and it fell on them and I worried I damaged one.
