Great news Cagin, especially her having a shower with your Mum's help and also having a meal up to the table.  Events like that will really improve her self-confidence.  It sounds like your life has been very busy so I hope you do find the time to see your Grandma soon.

I still remember my first shower after my stoke. It was great!!

Don't know what is available in your part of the world, but here you can get quite a variety of shower chairs. Having a shower chair makes it much easier to take a shower. The type most helpful depends on the severity of the stroke and what kind of shower/tub you have. Check it out. I have had three. The first my insurance paid for and was selected by the hospital. The last two I got over the internet.

Also being able to eat at the table make a survivor feel like they are really progressing.

Congrats to your grandmother!

Great news, congrats to grandma!  Wonderful,  she is coming along.  Do find time to visit Grandma.

Thanks for the lovely comments, Sue, Iwisman and Yvonne.  I'll post a new entry now.  Iwisman, thanks for the reminder on the shower chair, I'll look into that, but for now grandma seems to be ok with a small chair without the back part, it's a small stool.  Mom says she'll put some hard rubber to the legs of that stool for high friction and safety, but said they were fine.
