Congrats!! I was very excited when I finally got my wheels back. Nothing can beat the independence of being able to "go and do" when you want.....sounds like a nice car too. :Clap-Hands: :cheer:

~Amy :Clap-Hands:

Good luck on your doctor's appointments! Whew, I'd be zapped after 4 in one day.

~Amy

I haven't thought of that!!! Were you left handed b4 stroke, also?

~Amy

Mouth open...what a great first blog!! You express yourself very well.

~Amy

Bill-

How nice!! Enjoy your precious time together

Susan,

Yesterday on the Early Show I saw Mark McEwen, being interveiwed by his fellow collegues. I had no idea he had survived a stroke also. He looks like he is recoverying pretty well though.

~Amy

That is wonderful news!!! Thank you for sharing.

~Amy

I had a cousin stroke at 4 years of age while he was sleeping. He went through whole rehabilitation process and in the process found a love for PT, and he went to college and got his degree in PT and is a successful 35 y.o. who can really empathsize with his patients. I just wanted to share with you a childhood stroke story turned out well. I will be thinking of your son. Good luck. There's a lot of wonderful ppl on this site.

~Amy

It's very good that you can reflect and see some positive things out of an unfortunate situation. It took me a long time to get that way, but it is a good feeling when you get there.

~Amy

Good Job Vix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds like you r on the right path :friends:

~Amy

Yummy, sounds great!!!

~Amy

My dog Shelby is very smart and since my stroke she has really become "overprotective" of her Mommy. She is also a very vocal dog, she has a happy growl when she is glad to see you. If I forget to fill her water fish up, she will lay beside it and whine a high pitch whine until I fill it. She also understands English. So My hubby and I have started spelling some words around her like t-r-e-a-t.

Since my stroke I have been on a baking cookies kick and when she smells them cooking, she knows I will put one in her dish once one has cooled down. We have really bonded b/c it is just us during the school yr. when my daughter is gone during the day.

I liked you pet stories, Pet stories are fun to read.

~Amy

Thanks Asha!

~Amy

Sue,

What a great idea!!! I can hold babies like my nephew but with some non-family's I feel dangerous or anxious about holding them.

Thanks for your ray of sunshine!

~Amy

Asha

ASha,

I used 2 hands but it really made my tone increase. My affected hand held it while my good hand did the fine motor work. It was enough work for me to feel a nap coming on :blush: My hair isn't that long maybe a 3 inch ponytail.

~Amy

:Clap-Hands: Congrats, this could open a lot of different door oppurtunities for the future. Congrats!!!!!!!!

~Amy

Great Idea, Thanks!

I had my daughter's tooth checked and there is no root left. I am just not use to seeing a tooth missing.

:Clap-Hands: :Clap-Hands: :Clap-Hands: I made it fine driving to the Airport. Once I got onto the freeway, it was smooth sailing. I stayed in the right lane the whole time so I wouldn't have to switch lanes. I found the Baggage Claim area after I asked the parking attendant which door to go inside, once I was inside there were signs everywhere. I am so glad to have hubby home. I didn't realize how much I missed him until I saw him.

After airport we went out to Chuckie Cheese for a family date. Hubby is so glad to be home. :cheer: :cheer:

I am glad he only travels every year or 2.

~Amy

Lin,

Thank you for the suggestion. I have found them in the kitchen by the sink, and the master bathroom shower. *Where there is water.

Thanks again,

~Amy

Our capital city airport is nothing compared to O'Hare(sp). It's teeny tiny compared to it probably. I don't fly so all is new to me.
