Thanks to many members who got me on this blog page - finally. I'd like to use this as sort of a daily journal and my OT thinks this is a good idea. I've been told I'm too hard on myself but I just want to get to the end of this nightmare and I know that you all share this feeling. Kim wrote to me and sent me a list of links that would help and I clicked on "A Letter From Your Brain'. What a revelation! I printed it out and have shown it to friends and therapists alike and everyone agrees that this is right on the money. I get too impatient and sometimes I'm my own worst enemy. So thank you,Kim. Please write me again.

Yesterday was a "red-letter" day. I was cleared to climb the stairs with no assistance! I live in a town house and the bedrooms are upstairs so now I can come and go around my home as I please. I was also instructed to make arrangements for Outpatient OT and PT. I feel like progress is on its way.

I have a black eye from my fall on MOnday night but today I consider it a token of advancement. Total difference from my messge on The day after I fell.

BTW, I'm starting to type with my left (weak side) hand and will do my best to make this look neat... but please bear with me in the interim.

Tomorrow starts the daily journal.
