There is a lot to be thankful for if your man will just try something new from time to time. Ray figured quite a bit out without help and every new thing was one more thing I didn't have to do. Way to go Bob.

Sandy :

thats such a great news. I did not have cognative deficits, but I thrived on encouragement I got after I accomplished something in rehab & at home. though unfortunately my hubby is man of few words, but I took hint from Sue's blogs that if I can do something at home than its one less thing for hubby to do it. so that gave me drive & push to do more for our family.

He is trying! Good for Bob.

Julie

smiles !!! good day !!! and for that we are thankful !!! and your hubby's smile says it all...

I put mine on that way and catch the neck in back to start pulling it off over my head then my arms out. Works for me!

I can;t get out the chair he is sitting in by myself my knees won;t let me get up. I use a belt round the bed post to pull up with.

satisfaction comes I think not from having things done, but from doing things ourselves.

good for bob and both of you!

Great for Bob! good on him for trying. The look on his face is priceless!

Rock on Bob! Yes, he is quite proud of himself. And I agree, Sandy, when you stop and realize all the steps it took for him to do it, amazing!

WAY TO GO BOB!!!!!!! I know he was feeling so good after that! You should have seen the look on Mikes face when he realized he could strike a lighter with his left hand! Such small steps forward but they are "steps forward"! God is good!
