Routine Day

Wednesday July 22nd

❤️




I’m definitely starting to settle into a routine here in Rehab.  Breakfast is very hit or miss…

Pancake Bites
If you’re  wondering, a single serving of pancake bites is exactly 5 pieces.  


After breakfast most days I get picked up and taken to the gym for some very light cardio. It’s not much but it’s a start… makes me feel a little more human.

The rest of my day is filled up with occupational therapy, physiotherapy in the gym, practice walking, and some much-needed downtime.  Dinner is usually served at 5:30, right in line with the senior theme.  I should finish Netflix right about when I’m leaving here.

    Great quote Adam - a bit of a pain you have to go through now but you will be in great shape on the back end of this. Enjoy those pancakes, I will try to replicate here...

    šŸ„° You are doing - and thinking about - everything right! The forced sabbatical STINKS, but 30 days will be over before you can blink an eye! Every day a little stronger... šŸ‘šŸ»šŸ™šŸ»

In sickness and in health šŸ¤µ šŸ‘°

 Sunday August 16th 36 nights.   36 straight nights i’ve spent in the hospital...5 more to go.   That’s 36 nights not at home. 36 nights not at home with Jillian.  36 nights not tucking the kids into bed.  Those first few days after my stroke were like a blur. Just trying to figure out what had happened, how things were going to change, and what lay ahead of me.   Through all of it, Jillian was incredible. In ‘crisis mode’ as she put it. Driving the RV back to the SOO.  Calling for back up help, getting the kids settled in the hotel in Sault Ste. Marie, at my side in the hospital.   For 36 straight days she has been right by my side.  There to hold my hand, give me a hug, or encourage me. We cried together....more than once.  There through all the doctor šŸ©ŗ meetings asking all the questions that I didn’t know to ask.   Bringing me dinners, bringing me lunches, bringing me coffees ☕️, bringing me snacks.  She brought me a coffee machine. She brought me clothes. She took back my dirty la

Spasticity šŸ§

Thursday July 30 Spectacular Dawn sky this morning Stroke recovery, as I am learning, can be extremely frustrating.  My body has gone from a state of paralysis or flaccidity, to a state of spasticity.  Spasticity is an increase of muscle stiffness and tone which can interfere with making voluntary, or desired movements.  This is where the frustration really kicks in.  To work on this we are doing  passive range of motion exercises were the therapist moves my joints and limbs.  They also use active assisted range of motion exercises, where the therapist helps me practice or complete the movements.   Recovery is slow. It takes time. It cannot be rushed. I have to get my head around the fact that all I can do is be patient and continue to focus on the things that I can control… Keep doing my exercises… Keep working hard with the therapists.... And keep being positive! I CAN...I WILL...I MUST! This video, from last weekend shows how something that is normally so easy, has become so difficu
