Thank You!!!

... my dear friends for all your encouraging, inspiring messages!! i really feel i'm among friends here :o)

who knows what the future will hold, but i'm ready for it...

the OT (Occupational Therapist) who came to do my physio exercises this afternoon was new to me, but she recognized me from my hospital stay - Nick and the kids used to push me around the hospital in an evening to stop me going stir-crazy in my little room. she was amazed at how far i've progressed in four and a half months, which was encouraging!!!

i'd hard when each day pretty much feels like the one before, but her ooohs and ahhhs at all i could do for myself really encouraged me! i just have to focus on what i have learnt since the stroke - talking, walking, washing, dressing, reading, operating the computer, writing with my left hand, making my lunch - and not on all the multi-tasking i used to do each waking moment before it...

so with your lovely support in blogland, and the daily exercises, i feel i can make it. it's so much easier to travel a hard and difficult road when you're in such good company - thank you!!!!!!!!!
