She did very well indeed..."determined" was the word the therapist used. She sat on
the edge of the bed without tipping, demonstrating good balance. Then she stood with assistance and did fine with that too. A number of other activities rounded out the session. All in all, a vigorous work out that she passed with flying colors.There are two levels of therapy: the most aggressive one is three hours a day and the other is much shorter. She will be recommended for the more aggressive one, based on today's performance.
As you can imagine, by the time 6:30 came around she was ready for some well deserved sleep. So, without even bidding "Good night" to the six of us in the room, she nodded off.
Sweet dreams my love.
Dick, I am glad she is doing so well.

Praying for you both, Dick. We're gonna miss you in Anaheim.
ReplyDeleteI don't have experience with stroke recovery, but I do have experience with staying in hospitals for long periods of time, and dealing with an ill family member. The only "advice" I can give is to accept the new "normal", and don't be obcessed with getting things back to the way they were. It sounds as if you already realize this.
Thank God for every minute and every experience, good and bad.
We love you, and wish you the best!
