Diane, you are coming along fine now. Keep that confidence going. It is a long haul but oh what joy being able to walk on your own will bring. I was so happy when Ray could finally walk unassisted, it made me cry. And it is such a difference to see him stand upright, at his full height! He walks a bit erratically sometimes, but he walks. :cheer:

It is hard to wait for something to happen, we were like that with our front handrails, waited almost fifteen months for them. What we didn't know was that the entire staff (one man) had had a heart attack and there was no money to replace him. So we could only use the back door all that time.

But little by little your life will go back to a semblance of what you want it to be, just keep courage my friend.

Sue. :friends:

hey Diane:

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: so happy for you, I knew it, you can do it, these damn stroke takes time but you can do it, keep positive attitude towards your recovery,

Yes it soooo slow, practice as much you can at home, Even if it is lifting your heel off the floor wwhile sitting in your wheel chair. Any little thing you can repeat or do at home between therapy sessions.

I have found that repeition is the key. the more you do an action no matter how small, the easier it gets and your brain does get re wired.

Wat ti Gio, keep up the good work.
