Can anyone tell me why it is that I can lay in bed in the mornings and actually open and close the evil hand, stretch my fingers at will; but as soon as I get up, it

I love you, too, but if you don't quit talking about that warm Southern California weather I might have to remind you what it was like having a big sister. I think I might just be able to catch you now. I'm kidding... I really am happy that you had a good day.

I will be interested also to see if anyone has an answer to you question regarding your frustration.

It is great that you were up to doing the things you did today, beginning to feel more like your pre-stroke days. You will have more and more of those and will enjoy them more and more!

 

Glad you had a good day today and my heart almost bleeds for you looking at the "winter in San Diego" photo.

It got all the way up to 43 degrees here today and I thought that was pretty good. Currently it is 31 degrees and dropping. I just tell myself: "It's winter" and face it! Spring and Summer is coming! Then we will be complaining about the heat! It has it's inconveniences but I do enjoy the different seasons!

 

Love ya'

I experience something similar. My left leg is affected and I do have a limp. When I first get out of bed in the morning I walk normally to wherever I am going at first. It blows my mind as I don't understand it either.

 

I have been to San Diego several times and it is a beautiful city. I love Horton Plaza. I've also been to the convention center and it is one of the nicest in the country.

 

I thought we were having a heat wave here yesterday when it got up to 37.

 

You will find each day that you do improve. At first I was obsessed with stroke and learning and researching all about it. Now almost two years later there are days I do not think about it.

I'm guessing it has to do with the muscles in your hand having to strengthen themselves all over again and having to relearn what they are supposed to do? Keep at the therapy and don't ever give up. It will get better if you work at it. I limped for a long time after my wreck and I remember it always getting worse as the day went on. One baby step at a time adds up to the end of a long road eventually. Love you!!

I love you, too, bubby. Just so you know..we had 2 inches of snow last night in Louisville. I am glad you had a good weekend. I remember those days with the breeze blowing, the smell of freshly mowed lawns in winter. Ahhhhh, I can amost close my eyes and go back in time....but for now I will put my heavy coat on and go out for lousy mexican food.
