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.

COMMENTS ARE ENCOURAGED, WELCOMED AND APPRECIATED.

0214 happy single awareness day

The day started early with a visit to a medical lab to have a blood sample taken for testing. I needed to fast before the blood was drawn, so I didn’t eat anything since dinner last night. But after the lab visit, and before my PT appointment, I had a filling breakfast at the local McDonald’s.

We found a place to park at LB Memorial but we were early so a short nap was in order before making our way to the rehab gym. I met Rebecca and we finished up the eval (see 2/12 blog) with some range-of-motion tests. We were joined by Alicia, who didn't have a patient that day.

I was home by 12:30pm, so my father made us lunch. I worked on the PC in the afternoon, but was able to get in my home exercises and treadmill walking, and the evening was just like normal.

A YEAR AGO TODAY: I had OT, PT, and Speech by early afternoon. The case worker came in and reported that I was doing so well with therapy that I would be moved over to Acute Rehab in the next day or so. I was also scheduled for a swallow test on Friday (Feb 16th) to hopefully get me onto solid food again. I was visited after 7pm by Mike & Carol, John & Rieko, and Judy, from SBCC.
