GUILTY

I feel bad that this is not more troubling to me. I hope of course it doesn't touch me or family and friend but it is more interesting to me than frightening right now. It's in Michigan and spreading now. I'm doing all the things my government is telling me to do or not do. Shelter in place? Yeah been pretty much doing that for 5 years. I've got that down. My brain bleed left my left side pretty much disabled. I have mobility but very little sensation. I can limp around and "leftie" is using his left arm and hand more all the time. Especially on good days. I came out of it very lucky. I say this because I read of so many other members that are dealing with multiple issues caused by their strokes. Frankly I don't know how you do it or where you find the strength. I don't think I'm strong enough to fight through things like they do. So I guess what it is, my world was turned upside down for good 5 years ago and this crap doesn't change much for me Everyone shelter, wash those hands and stay safe

Willis. I'm really trying to run with this kind of thought:

 

I cannot help people's feelings about situations.  They may be disappointed I don't attend certain things etc. Not my problem. 

 

The other thing.  They've all got two feet and a heart beat. Why couldn't they come in and sit down and be with you? Instead of making you do all the work.

 

I'm gonna say it again.  YOU are NOT disappointing. 

 

Any one of the fam bam makes you think different, give them my number.

I got you.

and you know what would help is if we could get folks to understand it's a comfort thing with us. At least for me it is. I need a couple square pillows or something soft but firm to sit on and even that is uncomfortable before too long.  🛌

Willis, amen to that.  The level of comfort required is a very hard one to explain. 

 

We've been to Perth recently. 

4.5 hours in the car there, two days driving around doing stuff, 4.5 hours in the car coming home.

 

The muscles in my right bum cheek are still screaming at me.

 

I have physio next week; I'm hoping she'll get me sorted.

yep long car trips are hard. My physio said to make sure you stop every hour and walk at least three laps around the car before you head off again. It does help a lot. That bum cheek gets me even from my ergonomic office chair too if I don't get up regularly enough.
