This is such great news for a stroke survivor -

I would never discourage him, and encourage him to keep doing more :friends: To survive a stroke takes GUTS and it sounds like Bob really is on his way to a total recovery

Independence, I feel is ONE GIANT STEP FOR THE SURVIVOR TOWARDS FREEDOM. but sometimes this kind of behaviour is observed by some professionals, and family members are a person who is not grateful for their help or that this person is stubborn and strong-willed

Thanks everyone. You have all encouraged me to keep on keeping on. And I will never stop praising him for the things he accomplishes. Love ya's,

Cindy

very important do feel independent and also able to contribute to everyday tasks that they are able to do,,, I always tell hubby that he helps me so much and that I can't do everything so is so helpful when he pitches in.. we have a communication problem at times so things can be interpreted wrong and can cause a riff in our day.. when he does good he is proud of himself but he has not gained back his confidence level, it will come with encouragement...I told him it will take time but it will come and now he realizes it most times and then others he doesn't...got to read up more on stroke to deal with this lack of communication any pointers???
