Con/Mom is always moving forward in her mind even if her body takes a break. Unfortunately there are plateaus and occasionally there will be valleys. Just opening their pool yesterday brought enthusiasm to her face and heart!
All of her therapy suggest a break so she can develop strength and energy, but they may continue her OT, which is for her arm and hand. She loves Donna, her therapist, and she does whatever she says! I am starting Con/Mom back in yoga on Tuesday, baby steps, of course. We'll see if Jack doesn't knock her over or we'll have to come back to my studio.
Con/Mom has a busy week ahead with two bridge games/groups and a couples golf league with Dad/Dave Friday night. She might do some putting or it will just be nice to see some good friends and enjoy the nice weather that is on the way.
Progress also continues with her speech and cognitive functions. I'm trying to teach her to use Siri to make appointments on her phone. Not sure if she'll get the left hand down first or the speech required for Siri.....either way, there are always options and new ways to function.
In two weeks the American Heart and Stroke Assoc. Heart Walk commences on May 14. I will be walking for Mom and others as I have done so for many years! This is my last call out for donations. Even the smallest amount can assist in research in heart disease and stroke! Thanks to all who have already contributed. Have a heart!
