My have I've been delinquent in sharing posts. I will start with updating about Pam. She continues to heal from her surgery and is doing pretty well. She is a bit frustrated thinking that she should be healing faster, which I totally understand, but is working hard.

 

I am doing well overall but I am currently not doing any therapy which seems really strange. They kicked me out of PT, although they would say I was graduated or completed the course, whatever; the most recent attempt was to do some thing about pain in my right knee but really was not very successful at that. However the rehab folks at Saint cloud Hospital concerned about overall stability in the tendency of my left foot/ankle to rule outward and so a new round has been ordered. The issue with OT right now is that there is no therapist. This is very unfortunate because I had been making good progress and I can do some things on my own but still need some guidance. Please pray that they get someone in quickly.

 

It is hard to believe it's been over two years now since my stroke, how much has changed in that time. I too get frustrated with the things that I cannot do, wishing I was healing better and faster, but I know the key is to keep at it. I am able to do things with my left hand that I could not 3-4 months ago like open the screen door but that is not consistent. And the big issue is the inability to open the hand easily, and yet strength to grip some thing is still lacking.

I think I said I was going to share some quotes in a previous post, and have not done very good with that. But here are a couple of new ones that I particularly like, one is by the late Queen Elizabeth the second.

 

God's blessings to you all and thank you for your continued prayers and support.
