Sunday and the bathroom at church

William went to church on Sunday with the caretaker and ended up needing to use the bathroom. He usually does all that stuff before he leaves for church. Well, you know how that it is. They managed. I think that this is good. Now, William can feel comfortable that his caretaker can actually handle a bathroom situation. That is usually my realm.

William and his trusty cell phone. He calls to let me know that this is happening.

I read alot of wonderful blogs. Yes everybody keep it coming. I enjoy reading blogs. I love learning more about you and your experiences.

William is now able to stay an entire hour at the pool. He said that he knows that I expect it. So he is trying to not fight me. We also don't need the wet suit. He able to tolerate the water. It is a little cool...but the heater is on and it is not that bad.

he is exhausted after an hour of walking. So in bed he snoozes. Yes, he is feeling better in the pool. I am able to swim a few laps while he sits on the chair. Before, he would float away and not feel safe. Now he manages to stay put and kick his feet while waiting for me to swim.

I have the day off. I am so happy. It was a zoo yesterday and it was Sunday. Today, I will shop for OJ. Now I have to think about lunch.

Ruthie,

I'm glad it sounds as though life is taking on some semblance of normalcy for you. It's a long tough road as you see especially in the beginning, but as you see life does go on and get easier.

 

Happy to hear William is more relaxed, comfortable,and doing so much better.

Please keep us posted as life for you guys continues to progress, so you will continue to be the inspiration you are.

Ruth, I thoroughly enjoy reading your blogs. It's as if we know both you and William personally (which we do). Having traveled down the same road you are on for the first year of post-stroke, it is great to read of progress and regaining some normalcy in life. Keep the blogs coming, please.
