Happy Spring! Golfer Connie in Action!

So you can see in the picture that Connie is back in action, so-to-speak.  This is at her lesson for adaptive golf.  Her teacher is amazing! She is still golfing right handed, but tucking right arm/hand in a pocket for now and swinging with her left...stay tuned!
Golf was one of Con/Mom's passions.  I was so blessed to have golfed with her on a league for 3 years and she rekindled my own passion for the game.  Now I'm in two leagues and my daughter even works at Carl's Golfland! It's not only Con/Mom's passion for golf, but her passion for life that keeps her positive and moving forward. She is an inspiration to many and has defied the standard rule of healing for stroke patients of one year. 
Con/Mom and Dave/Dad have their couples league on Friday night so she will do a little more than putt this year with the help of her lessons.  Andy and I have joined their league so I'll be sure to keep you all abreast of her physical updates.

Con/Mom is really making progress in speech, too!  She is using names more frequently not because she couldn't remember us, but because of the neuro pathways that were damaged.  She is continually building new paths and it is reflected in her speech. Yippee!!!!!!!!!!

While Dad/Dave has taken two dive trips in the last three years, Con/Mom has finally agreed to take a cruise with their special friends in December through the New Year! They will stop at some of their favorite places like the Keys, Grand Cayman and Cozumel.

Pool is open now and Con/Mom will start her laps soon once the temp is up to her standard. :)  Our dogs will enjoy chasing the pool sweep. LOL #nuttypups

Have a great summer and enjoy each day to the full!  Count your blessings, hug your loved ones and smile!
