Assessment Day

Friday July 17th

Today was a busy one...getting down to business with the therapy team.  First up was Perceptual Assessment and Cognitive Assessmment, with Rammjot.  30/30 (💯) on my Cognitive Assessment, thank you very much!  Into the gym with Melissa to see where I’m at physically (lets assume NOT 💯).  

I got this

Progressing to the QUAD CANE!

Dinner tonight was a lovely 2oz. chicken thigh, corn nibblets, and mashed potatoes.  Paired with a lovely Cranberry Cocktail.  How’s your Friday night?

Notes of Aluminum Foil & plastic. Fruit forward.

    Keep up the blog and you spirits Adam! Looking forward to seeing your recovery in action. If anyone can do this you can. On the plus side, maybe this will correct your slice?

    I didn’t even know that chicken came in a 2oz size! Nice work on the assessment day.

    Ha! Love the cranberry cocktail tasting notes. I’m guessing none of the food was finished with a drizzle of black truffle oil ;) xoxo

The Beginning: a good place to start

Starting the blog! Ive often thought about starting a blog ......but what should I write about?   If you’re reading this, you know that last Thursday I suffered a stroke....things were going to be different for a while. The outpouring of support has been overwhelming.  People have been sending us messages and emails expressing their concern and support during this difficult time.   We are trying our best to keep everyone updated on my progress...and that’s when it dawned on us ....Blog about my recovery!  Seems like the easiest way to keep those that are interested, updated on my recovery. It will also be good for me to see my progress and how far I’ve come.  It will also give me something to do when I’m not busy rehabbing. So… Follow along if you’re interested. And please keep the messages of encouragement coming...they will be the fuel to my comeback! -Adam

♥️ Home with the family ♥️

 Saturday August 22nd I waited a long time for this moment.   A moment I’ll never forget.  We all cried, we all hugged, we all needed it.  Released back into the wild at 3:30 on Thursday afternoon... Jillian was there to take me home.  From the moment I went into the hospital until the moment I left, she was always there when I needed her.  I had the best welcoming committee there to greet me.  The kids made the most amazing signs and cards…  Aqua therapy has been fantastic! It has definitely been an adjustment coming home. More so than I thought it would be. The frustration of having to ask for help with everything. I mean everything.  Definitely need to take time to rest. Gone from puttering around my hospital room, to having to navigate the house and yard. Friday: A couple of errands that HAD to get done on my first full day at home… Went to the DMV with dad 😒🙄 and LensCrafters to get some new reading glasses 🤓. Not sexy but like I said...

Room with a View

Wednesday July 29th Today was a great day, in a lot of ways!!!! Physio was busy, with lots of walking, and staircase work!!  The entire Physio team was thoroughly impressed as I paraded around the gym, lap after lap, like a proud peacock.  Time for some video work tomorrow so I can show my walking progress. In OT, had an assessment on left-sided mobility and functionality… They said I was progressing “spectacularly“. So that’s a good thing. All the while, The nurses were busy moving me into a new room…A room with a view!  Technically I had A view before, but it wasn’t very good.  It was into a courtyard and there was never anyone in it. Now I look due East… I can see the lake, the CNTower, and spectacular skies ALL DAY LONG! Jillian came up for a dinner date outside.... Our usual table. 😋 Then this happened… Drive Up Visit Anneke, the kids & Tukker 🐶 ♥️ And then this happened… Mom & Dad Mom on the phone, Dad on the binoculars  I love my family. They ju...
