Welcome to the Gun Show!

Sunday July 19

Sunday Vibes

Rehab Sunday!  Pretty sure that’s the name of the pool party at the Hard Rock in Vegas.  Well not that!  This one was a little more low-key.  Enjoyed a delicious coffee from my new coffee machine, and then I was off to rehab with Heather.  She slipped a ‘shoe slide’ on my left shoe, and then we worked on walking without a cane.  Focus more on the mechanics of the legs and hips, and not worrying about my left foot drop. It felt really great to be moving around with nothing at all to support me.

Slidin’ like I’m glidin’

Zombie Walk😆

I was feeling pretty good after, as you can see below…
🔫 GUN SHOW! 🔫

My darling Jillian came over for legit visiting hours (no disguise required).  We got outside for some fresh air on the balcony, I freshened up with a shower (heaven), and then we enjoyed a delicious home cooked dinner!


STEAK

All in all, a Sunday to be extremely grateful for!  
❤️💪

    Adam, you are INCREDIBLE!!! I do not believe the progress you’ve made in no time at all?!

    It is wonderful to see Jillian‘s bright light each day (still can’t get over your Saturday night date night/CHEESE board — a very lucky man!!!) and what a gift that dear Anneke is always there to help with the babies... ❤️

    Rooting for you every step of journey, sending you positive thoughts and all of our prayers. Attitude is a choice and your good vibes are working, KEEP IT UP!!! 👏🏻🥂😘

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...
