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.

0924 stretch

Today was therapy with Christina. She had me walk to a table without my walker by putting my hands on her shoulders while she sat on a rolling stool. She said that I was putting weight to my feet because she hardly felt any pressure from my hands to her shoulders. She said that it was good that I was only using my hands for balance.

She also gave me a few exercises to work on at home, including Achilles’ stretches and using a bar to keep my forearms raised while rotating my shoulders.
