fking Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hey, I'm with you Mische, a little is like a lot when we need it. That's what I keep telling my wife, a little is better than none. She didn't hear me yet. :happydance: I'll keep on lap dancing until something gives. :silly: Congratulations on your movements, more is on the way.

marlen Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 MISCHE, GOOD FO YOU. NOW THAT THEY ARE STARTING TO MOVE, PUT YOUR HANDS IN A PAN OR SINK OF WARM WATER. PRACTICE MOVING THEM IN THE WATER. TRY TOUCHING EACH FINGER WITH YOUR THUMB. I HAVE BEEN DOING WATER THERAPY FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND IT'S DONE WONDERS. AT LEAST THAT'S MY OPINION. KEEP ON IMPROVING.

Alaine Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I STARTED GETTING MOVEMENT IN LEFT FINGERS.......NOT ALOT BUT SOME IS BETTER THAN NON, RIGHT???? Absolutely!! My mom had a stroke 4 months ago and she spent 2 months without moving at all on her left side. Suddenly she began to move her fingers and can now get her hand up to her chin. It's very slow, but it's a miracle and we are so happy. Keep your chin up and work hard on your therapy. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmouat Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 :cheer: HURRAY for you! You have only begun on your journey. I am so excited for you. Stay well, Linnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasco Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hooray for you!!! As the others, I know just how great it is to look at your fingers & see movement. You've probably gotten more since you posted your good news. I used to lay there & make my left hand mimic my right. One of the first things I did was that signal Dr.Spock does...the nurses got qwuite a kick out of that. Good to hear your news!!! Jasco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsamymichelle Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I was home a long time before I got any movement back besides shoulder. My left fingers started twitching uncontrollable at first ,then in OT we worked on controlled movement. I now can make a fist and barely open my palm up. Congrats! Keep up on your OT work. ~Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest veggie.vampire Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Well done! A little is most definitely better than none and who knows, may even lead to more. My one good hand started as the fingers just twitching but 6 months later it was normal. Don't forget to use it though, that old saying of use it or lose it is so true.

gonkerette Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hi This is a super exciting moment!!! :Clap-Hands: Keep on using it, as it will take time, but it is a big step in recovery :cheer: You will always remember this day!!!! I remember as I got excited when I hurt my arm on the hospital bed..... but I could feel it!!!! keep up the good work and I agree to use the water therapy as it does help a lot. Mark this day on the calendar and then each month see how far you have come from that point! You will truly be amazed. I am so excited for you as I know how much it means!!!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
