About Me
- Name: Claire
- Location: United Kingdom
I suffered a serious stroke over 10 years ago (aged 43 at the time) and it's been a slow, often frustrating, recovery... I lost my speech and was totally paralyzed on my right side, but with patience and regular physiotherapy, I can now speak, walk short distances, operate the computer, but my right side is still paralyzed. I get botox injections 3 times a year in my right bicep and forearm, which relaxes the high-tone muscles and makes it easier to stand and walk. Last year I started weekly sessions of hydrotherapy, where I build up the wasted muscles by exercising while supported by the warm water. It's bliss at the time, but I ache like heck next day - but it's so worth it :)

That's probably the best way to get 'aching feet'. Esther looks adorable!!! I just love her T-shirt :-)
How adorable! I remember shopping like that, I don't shop as much anymore...unless it's art supplies...but then I'd need a hot tub. lol!
