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.

1022 an arm and a leg

My father drove me to my OT appointment today. Jenny K chose to work on my right arm, but my right leg had other plans. She had me on my hands and knees, in order to lean to the right, so that I would apply weight and pressure onto the arm. But the muscles in my right thigh began to tighten up and I started to hold my breath in order to endure the pain.

Jenny realized that this was not working, so I moved to a table, leaned forward with both hands flat on the table, and continued the leaning exercise while standing. No pain, no pain. Now I just need to incorporate it into my exercise program at home.

Thought For The Day: Have you ever noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?
