Recovery j...Thanks Linda for all the encouragement. Recovery just seems so much easier to me when I have a whole team of experts directing/guiding me. I know I'm gonna get better too...I have to!Thanks for the sweet comment about Jack too...of course we think he's cute too :)...but his personality is the BEST. He's the funniest little person I've ever met...he's got it all figured out at two. <br /><br />Thanks Aly...I'm just working hard to get better one day at a time here.<br /><br />ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415199604755247205.post-15744434588749282922011-06-15T03:56:05.462-07:002011-06-15T03:56:05.462-07:00You are an inspiration!You are an inspiration!Aly Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018292974267917861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415199604755247205.post-486078856812401652011-06-12T08:09:12.351-07:002011-06-12T08:09:12.351-07:00Elizabeth, 6 months is really not long at all into...Elizabeth, 6 months is really not long at all into the stroke rehab and you will still make huge recovery. I promise. :)<br /> One of the ladies at My Stroke Recovery office would grin and say to you ... aww you are such a new baby, because you are only 6 months. Six months into a fresh start at life.<br /><br />Do try to plan and pace your day to keep from getting exhausted. (I know that is super hard to do with the little guy around) Think about mental work as exhausting too as well as physical movements and try for balance in your activities. <br /><br />Don't push yourself beyond your need to rest. It took me a long time to figure out that it is better to stop and rest for an hour than be useless all the next day. It really makes a difference to your ability to work on your recovery and the quality of the time spent with your family.<br /><br />I wanted to say that Jack is truly adorable. My grandson wore the same kind of cute giraffe costume a year ago!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714725782520722613noreply@blogger.com
