Snake is so sorry.

Alright, get over the Pity Party. Snake is cool, and everyone agrees.
People understand what a stoke can do to a person, and we also understand that it takes time to fight back from such a devastating attack. It also takes a ton of work, concentration, and courage by the individual.

Snake, you've already won 50% of the battle, you're coming back from it, and you recognize what changes have taken place and where more work is needed. That's HUGE!

The mere fact that you're here, and interacting so well is inspirational. You don't owe any apologies. You're a hell of a man, Snake.
