Journal entry by Joanne Manzo —
Hi everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying getting ready for Christmas! Sorry it has been a while since I’ve updated. I don’t want to be too repetitive, so I will only update when there are big milestones. The good news is Bill is slowly but definitely progressing each day. It’s a grueling process but he is facing it head on. Bill is working on walking with a cane instead of a hemi-walker and also starting to tackle stairs in physical therapy.
Please keep the prayers coming. He faces a lot of challenges daily and I know the prayers are a big part of what keeps him going. Thank you for checking in and for your support!!
If you are interested in or just curious about what experiencing and recovering from a stroke is like, I’m reading an amazing book by a brain scientist who suffered a very severe stroke and fully recovered. She remembered and documented the entire experience. It’s a quick read and it’s fascinating! It’s called “My Stroke of Insight” by Jill Bolte Taylor.
Lots of love from all the Armstrongs
