The newest hand splint is not working well. The hand manages to slide out and bend at the knuckles. I will have to ask them to work on that.

William had a great day today. Up at 5AM ..we made it to the pool by 5:30AM. WE did walking for 30 min. I keep stressing that we need to increase endurance and stamina. HOme by 7AM. He has his meds and yogurt for breakfast. Back to bed for William. I tell him that he can rest until 9AM. Friends are coming over to stay with him and give me some respite. They are going to play bridge. William is a little apprehensive about this. He hasn't played since his stroke. I leave him. When I get home. He has thoroughly enjoyed himself and finds that he can still play. I try to make him some lunch. But,, he does not the salad that I made. S0, he has a piece of pie for lunch. Back to nap for him. HE is tired. I get him up when the caretaker comes at 2PM. I am off to work. The caregivers stretch and massage him hand for me.

I read the latest OT report. They plan on working with him one more month. But, if no progress is made then they will discharge him. I told him that we need to concentrate on the hand this weekend. I will try e-stem and pressure.
