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: Continuing to keep both you and Den in good thoughts, and prayers.
Life provides so many twists and turns, and just when you think its safe to take that deep breath, things get a little crazy. You two have been thru the ringer of an old fashion washing machine -- but it sounds like medical supplies, professional help are falling into place.
Keep up the brave front -- and allow yourself the right to cry, scream, kick the walls .. or come here for encouragement and support.
We adore you, Stef so pleeeeeeease take care your 'you', when possible.
Gentle hugs,

Anything that life changing is going to effect YOU and you are part of this club nobody wants to join. So I think it's perfectly normal and just fine to come here to us.
Wow you've got a lot going on, hope you have a really good calendar system to keep track. AND having a "good" patient to work with always helps.
Thinking of you both,

You sure have a lot going on in your home Stef, but, it will all lead to Den getting stronger and healthier!
You are one terrific wife and I know, from what you write about him, that Den is one terrific husband!
You two take care of each other and don't be a stranger here, as, we all want to know the progress that Den is making. And if you don't, we'll have to come get you! Hey, that could be fun, couldn't it? hehe
