Today Bob said:

 

"It's not as humid today, as it was yesterday" !!!!

 

Oh, forgot to mention that he found where I downloaded a book for him for 'one day' on his kindle, and today he browsed the books on there and found it, and started reading it - without my help at all!

 

"Every Inch of the Way; My Bike Ride Around the World".

 

He is becoming more aware, and I see more of the old Bob coming out! Feels good :)

thats great news sandy. I am so happy for you you are finding your bob underneath those changes stroke brought on him. best thing my husband told me after my stroke that you are still same just your left hand does not work, it boosts so much confidence in me, when my confidence in me was shattered when they were doing all kind of testing to find out what I lost. in those testing I lose my self confidence which his kind words & his actions rebuilt that confidence.

Today after I had him dressed and got him up to walk out to the porch, he stopped.  He started rummaging in this little bin I keep things to work on him with - he's never done that.   He said, "you need to... (holds up a brush) brush my hair".   :)     I usually give it a quick once over after we pull his shirt on, but forgot it today.

Debbie, Bob is reading Every Inch of the Way book.    I put it on there about a year ago, thinking he might be able to read it someday.   It's about a guy riding his bike thru World (Bob was a bike rider).   About a week ago, he was just looking thru his apps and books and found it and started reading it.    He is doing really good reading out loud, hardly any errors, but slow.   I'm so happy for him!

 

I had written he finished it today, but changed it because we found that there was more than he thought to the book!   ha, ha, now he gets to read more of a book he likes!

I am so happy for you and Bob.  I laughed out loud when I read about the hair brushing!  I am impressed that he found the book and is reading it. 

I really believe that love makes a difference.  In one year it looks like Bob has made so much progress.  I had to smile when I thought of you browsing through and finding a book that might interest Bob someday. Your hope has had results.
