I managed to get in three workouts on the treadmill today. It sounds like a lot, but it’s mostly exercising my right leg, while my left leg remains stationary on the side. But every now and then, I get both feet on the tread and actually walk for about 30 seconds. Right now, I support myself with the handrails, but look forward to the day when I’ll be walking with my arms at my side. Cool.
A YEAR AGO TODAY: My OT, Ed, shows up around 7am to watch me sit up and get dressed. I look forward to the day he calls in sick as that means an extra hour of sleep for me. But it never happens. He has me sitting in my wheelchair, waiting for the other therapists, after he leaves. Sometimes, I can convince the nurse to help me back to bed. Sometimes, I can’t. Oh well.
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.
