"Peter David has posted on his blog for the first time since his stroke in December. The X-Factor writer thanked his fans for their support and explained the course of his rehabilitation.  &amp;quot;First of all, I want to thank my lovely wife for filling in so far. She&amp;#039;s done a terrific job,&amp;quot; he wrote. &amp;quot;Second, I think it is amazing to see the outpouring of support and good wishes for my recovery. I never expected anything like this to happen to me. Who would? &amp;quot;Nevertheless, I&amp;#039;m down here in Jacksonville at a hospital that specialises in putting people like me back together again. Every day is filled with all types of physical therapy dedicated to enabling the right side of my body to converse with the left side once more. &amp;quot;I have no idea what to expect of my physical abilities the day I walk out of here (or get wheeled out of here) in mid-February. But I am certainly hoping for the best. &amp;quot;Saturday and Sunday are generally very quiet days. Gives me time to work and to reflect upon everything I&amp;#039;m dealing with. This is unlike anything I have ever had to handle in my life. There are days that I really don&amp;#039;t want to think about what I have to face. But I feel like it&amp;#039;s my job to keep as positive an attitude going as is humanly possible. I owe that to my family and friends. &amp;quot;Thank you for all your support.&amp;quot; David&amp;#039;s wife Kathleen had previously been managing the blog updates while her husband has been recovering. Fans have been encouraged to donate to help with the writer&amp;#039;s medical bills or to buy one of his creator-owned Crazy 8 Press publications. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
