spontaneous physical therapy for stroke

I was at a bar(Shamrocks) on Sunday night listening to a college friend play in a band Rythym Pups. They have a wonderful mural in there with ghosts hovering over patrons eating at the tables. A good friend, Sue brings various musical instruments for the audience to play. I grab the hollow wooden percussion frog and a drumstick. I pry my fingers open enough to get the frog into my left hand. This provides hours of spasticity relaxing therapy. When I beat on the frog with the drumstick , this sends vibrations trying to find their way back to my sensory cortex. Trying to get growth cones and axonal sprouting going. This is just a continuation of my 24 hour a day therapy. There is no time to waste , every minute of the day can and needs to be used for therapy.

Dean: take a quick look at my coupon blog. Bruce is using scissors one-handed to cut coupons and is chatting it up with strangers-all therapy. Anything that grabs him is OK with me.

 

Good for you in finding ways to improve. I think a night at the pub might be interesting, except mostly locally it is karioke (sp ?), don't know if I could sit through that-lol.

 

Keep the suggestions coming. Good week, Debbie

DEAN,

HAVING ATTENDED NUMEROUS OKTOBER FESTS IN MY 11 YEAR TOUR OF GERMANY, I CAN SEE WHERE LIFTING THE LITRE MUGS OF BEER COULD BE VERY THERAPEUTIC.

CHEERS.

My lifting of mugs can't be done with my left hand because I can't pry my fingers open enough to get around the glass and keep the glass upright, or I would use that as an excuse for liquid therapy. :beer: :hiya:
