my stroke

I had a stroke on December 1, 2024  while waiting to board a flight home to Arkansas. I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance from O'Hare Airport to Resurrection Hospital in Chicago where I underwent treatment for 17 days.  

I am currently home in Arkansas and receiving regular therapies. You may have wondered. I'll be back to my advocacy of hands-on learning when I am more able.

Make, fix, and create.

  1. Hang on in there, Doug. Sorry to hear about the stroke. I'm sure you'll find that even a hands-off period has benefits; yet I hope you can take up your tools soon!

    Wishing you all the best in your recovery Doug. I bought your latest book Designing Boxes as a Christmas present to myself. I have all your books. You are an inspiration to me and I have made several of the boxes shown in your books.
