It's very busy here. We
It's very busy here. We have seen the home health nurse yesterday and the occupational therapist this morning and this after the social worker is coming. then tomorrow the home nurse and the speech therapist. Also waiting to have the physical therapist come. A home health aide called to come and bath him and I explained that we don't have the shower chair yet and that we are declining this right now. Denise is helping me but doing shopping but I have to find time today to pick up our prescriptions. We are developing a good routine. I have found enough foods he really enjoys so I can make more and freeze portions. The occupational therapist is ordering some supplies for us and she gave him some good upper body exercises to do and encouraged him to use the weak hand for feeding and everything he can so it will gain strength. Den is go good natured and so cooperative and that really helps. thank you Noel for asking. It helps to come here and share. I don't really care if anyone reads it. It's just verbalizing all this that helps. But the good thoughts really do help. I know this isn't a stroke board and I suppose I should find one and post there instead but I don't have the time to do two boards and all of you are like family so I hope no ones minds that I am using the board for this.

Stef, get your a** over here so I can thump you!

Stef, this is a YOU board, and you're one of us, and we walk together through whatEVER life brings.

When something this major happens to the one you love, it happens to you, and we want to be there for you. No -- we WILL be there for you, whether you like it or not!
