Sunday Update

A very nice final inpatient Sunday. Michael had a good PT session earlier. Then he did some wheelchair control practice in the courtyard under my watchful eye. He is really becoming the proficient driver.

He had a great lunch of some really good roast beef, surprisingly so. I even asked to speak with the chef to find out how she made it, so I can make mine the same. I think she was quite surprised to get a compliment and give cooking advice. 👍 I am very sure that does not happen often. Lol

Now we are just watching basketball, snuggled under the covers.

Two full days and two half days to go until M is homeward bound. 💗

All is well

Things are going well. We just hit the FOUR year post-stroke mark last week. IN-FRICKING-CREDIBLE! Seems like a lifetime ago but other times it seems like last year. Michael continues to do well. He had a CT of the brain last month and all looks good. Doc just wants to repeat every few years to be sure blood flow is normal and the stent in the vertebral artery is holding up. Gym, twice a week and walking are our main activities.  We went nearly 3 miles just today. M is strong and wonderful!! Most importantly he is happy and positive. Here he is on a recent walk in our neighborhood. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping. We LOVE our slice of paradise.

Fun Fall - October 2021

Image
We have done some fun things recently. We went ziplining with a group of 15 family members up in Big Bear. Michael did GREAT! We were all so proud of him and he was an inspiration to everyone. His motto for the day was, "I can do it!" We were also extremely proud of my mom who was checking the adventure off her "bucket list." She is 81 and was flying through the air like a champ! The following week we went to Ontario to see a pre-season game of our favorite basketball team, the LA Clippers. It was the first professional sports event we've been to since Michael's stroke. We had a good time.  Otherwise, we fill our days with music and fun. Michael continues his writing, I do my dancing, and we have our twice weekly gym days and all our walks, cart rides, visits with friends, community parties. Life is great.

March 2021

We are doing well. Our indoor facilities are still not open, but hopefully that will change soon as more of us get immunized and hopefully get Covid under control. Then we can continue going to the gym and I can line dance. In the meanwhile, we take lots of walks and cart rides when the weather cooperates. As you can see by the pic below we had some snow at the end of January. That was a treat!  Ben and Jake come and visit a weekend each month, so that is always a highlight for us.  They are both doing great.
