Keep your brain sharp with these online games!

All of your sites are terrific, Pam. Thank you so much.

Seldom do I have the time for subscribing to sites that deal with gaming. I love athletics but other kinds of gaming do not appeal. However, last August, I was hospitalized for a stroke and the site you have posted I have joined. The coonection here is that they posted for "why did you join?" an option: "recovery". there has been significant feedback already from medical people that the brain is "plastic" and can regenerate its cells. The other piece, which your website touches on, is that I can train my brain to connect better. I am very grateful you posted a healing tool. I will update you about that part of its efficacy.
