Well I have been here before you all where I drive myself to the facility spend an hour there trying to get all the help I can to walk better sooner and be able to use my left side some at least.... It's an up hill climb but if I can gain a little bit more in what I'm able to do for myself then I will be OK.....

I realize I'm now 75 and 12 years out from the day I suffered the stroke so perhaps not a lot more can be accomplished in my body and that's OK if I can still do what I'm able to do now..... Either way it beats sitting at home day after day doing nothing at all.... I feel I am healing my body some with every hour I spend at the facility..... Now how much it's helping me remains to be seen....

On the bright side I know I won't live forever even if I didn't suffer the stroke but I feel good knowing I'm doing what I can to help my body do a little bit more.... Later on I plan to walk outside around in my yard with the two little dogs outside with me to get them a little exercise too.....

I can eliminate the little lady that comes in the mornings since she doesn't do a lot for me that I can't do for myself..... Then I can just depend on me helping myself get better with a bit more time.... I will keep riding my exercise bike in the dinning room so I don't get stiff from just walking in the yard with the dogs....
