    This is THE BEST video!! What a journey you and your family have been on. Todays Homecoming will be such good "medicine" for all of you. Congrats on all of your hard work, perseverance and pure determination to get to this point.

    ADAM - thank you for that, so amazing. I am beyond excited for the Feberwee family for you to get to this next part of your recovery. To be able to hug the kids and be around that amazing family will give you so much energy. Brace for a powerful afternoon! Love to all.

    Very inspirational clip. Great to see so many smiling faces almost from day number one. Shows you again that “It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters”!
    Seems that you will be the one doing grocery shopping from now on; they clearly prepared you in the hospital for that. As they did for cleaning the house and potentially washing the car (“wax on, wax off”). On a more serious note, all the best man the coming months. It might not be always smiles, but if anyone can recover it is you! Talk soon!

In sickness and in health 🤵 👰

 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 🩺 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 c...

Spasticity 🧠

Image
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 norma...
