This has been a busy week. I had 3 hours of therapy on both Tuesday and Thursday for speech, OT, and PT. Speech went well as Amanda thought that my enunciation of words in conversation was clear, although I need to work on slowing down so that I'm less tempted to blur words or phrases together.
Jennifer (PT) was working on getting me back on my feet and walking, with the assistance of a stsndard walker. She doesn't like the hemi-walker at all. Lana (OT) spent the time getting my right arm/shoulder to use less deltoid and more t-something.
I was cleared a couple of weeks ago for thin liquids, like water, but had been taking it cautiously. This week I enjoyed non-thickened juice and ice cream for the first time this year! I am now looking forward to visiting In-N-Out sometime very soon for the strawberry shake.
This coming weekend is Memorial Day, so we'll see how it goes.
A word about my blog .....
I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).
For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.
