Aussie Ken

Hi it looks like Walkaide has not reached Australia as yet plus being on a limited budget i doubt if we could afford it. sso will just keep on keeping on and hope something will come be found to fix this problem.

Glad you both had a wonderful time Sue, looking forward to the warm weather

Yes Sue, since the cold weather has started my affected right leg is like ice, it doesn't matter how much i wrap it it's always the same, i put it down to circulation problems as once i get in the hydro pool it warms up and stays warm for ages. i might have to get it wired (Haha) summer time no worries

have a good time Sue, i wish i could escape this winter cold with you

have a great time, i wish i could get away. .. ENJOY

Thank you everbody, those articles were very interesting dstraugh i will print them off and give them to my physio, it my also help other clients of her's as they help a lot of clients with sports etc rehab like most of us the cost of things can be terrible when on a limited income. i'm at the point now were i will do anything to get mobile again as i'm bored witless i would even become a test dummy if it would get me walking.

Is there anyway to get medicare to pay for the Wii system? I am on SSDI and cannot afford to purchase it on my income. Any response is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Hawaii Survivor

I'm not sure about that, something you could ask or enquire on line with your provider. i haven't done so here in Australia but i will be making enquiries with both Medicare and my private health cover people.

good luck with your enquries,

Ken

Merry Christmas Sue and Ray, we hope you have a great day with the family

Hi Sue

Sorry i haven't been on the site for a couple of weeks, i hope christmas will be special this year and as you say life is so precious and too short, what i can't work out is why so many good people get struck down in there prime and yet so many people who don't deserve to walk this earth have no health problems, have a lovely christmas and we are all thinking of you.

Ken

Sorry to here the news Sue, i will be thinking of you. Look after yourself as well as i know Ray is in good hands.

take care

Ken

Our daughter is currently working in a US summer camp near Detroit, from a phone call last week she is really enjoying herself. a great way to travel the world and meet people. glad to her you enjoyed yourself.

Ken

Have a loverly anniversary, gee i feel like a pup as we celebrated our 22nd this year. since tracing my family tree i have discovered that most of the family have had long happy marrages.

Ken

hi Super Sue

i'm not being smart, for some reason people seem to forget that you need time for yourself and the more you want to help the more people seem to want.

so Sue my simpe advice is you and Ray are the most inportant thing in your life. Since i had my stroke my lions club is still surviving, the house is still functioning, so in all look after yourselves so that your health dosen't suffer.

take care

Ken

welcome to the wonderful world of blogging.

We hope you have a great christmas and really enjoy the day

I also love my dog, a little jack russell he loves lots of cuddles and is a joy to have around. he also knoews when i'm feeling down and hangs around to make sure i'm ok. so enjoy your big mate.

Ken

thats great news, my pyhsio decided to put me on the treadmill last visit and i think the experience trigged the brain cell as i have got more feeling in my affected leg and i'm looking forward to the visit next week. hope you go well in the study.

Ken

Great blog, and i agree, i also cheated death mine was because of St Pats day, the perly gates were closed because the place was in party mode to celebrate St Pats day, and hell was also closed fot the holiday.

:laughbounce: :happydance:

Glad the see that you had a great time, i've only been to cains once but that was back in the early 80's such a lovely place.

Well done i love my exercises i just wish i could do more and get my old healthy live style back, i just wish i hadn't abused my body when i was younger.

Keep up the good work

Ken

Never give up hope, my whole life has been turned upside down since the stroke, i've gone from a very independant person to one who lost a lot of confidence. but i no i can win and overcome most of the obsticals that have been forced upond me.

so never give in or up stick to your guns

Cheers Ken
