Getting Packed
It's 11 pm and I'm finishing my laundry for my week in rehab. Just thinking what the week will be like. It seems funny to me that post stroke I get paniced by anything new. pre stroke I would have looked forward to the adventure. lol It sure is a different life. I'll be at rehab from 8 am to 3:30 pm that's the schedule they mailed me. It should be intersting getting up at 6 or 7 and be out the door that early. I do good to get up and make coffee by 9 now! In the mornings it takes me a while to wake up and be able to move. My brain dos't work that fast any more its like I can be awake but I don't think clearly at first and I can't move my legs for a while its like my body and mind need time to wake up. Some times I feel like my brain isn't realy mine and I don't always trust myself. And my body, well it dosn't look or feel like mine. Its sometimes amuses me to watch myself my mind trying to controll my body and it's not cooperating. lol
How everything was so easy pre stroke just going through the day walking and talking and doing whatever. whenever I needed or wanted to do. There was no limit to the things I could accomplish. I don't even remember being consered about much of anything!
How that has changed. Post stroke everthing is hard. Everything from just brushing my teeth to putting a shirt on. 10 months post stroke I just realized A tag on a tee shirt goes in the back. Pre stroke I didn't have to think about how to do things I just did them. Now it can take up to an hour to get dressed correctly. (or at least what I think is correct) lol who knows what's correct I thougt for the last 10 months the tag went in the front. lol
Well I guess if thats the worst thing I do it's ok ( it's not like I wear my unerware over my pants) at least I don't think I have!!!!!!!!!!!! It makes me wonder what other things I do or have done thats kinda off.
Well tommorrow should be interesting. And I'll do my best. Thats all I can do.
So I will say good bye for now and I will fill you in when I get back.
Thanks to All of you for listning
