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 :)

How I wish I could have an opportunity like that at his age. Sadly they just weren't offered, I think it helps build self confidence being away from home like that. So happy he's back safe and sound!
Glad the badge info worked for you!!
XOXO
I'm glad that he is home, safe and in bed. *HUGS*
