Chuck Report.....

[mdehners]

Things are going well. His "Good Days" are better than before the Stroke and Carotid Surgery and the "Bad" no worse. The R sided Weakness is becoming less. Luckily, Chuck is stubborn and has to be told to STOP his exercises, not do them. He got a bit of tendonitis from overdoing it. In the last week he's gone from barely making an "X" to writing his initials understandably(not great but readable).
His big area of need is Constitution, to use the D&D terminology. He's got a smartphone battery; it needs recharging frequently and if drained too low it takes forever to get back to 100%. The idea of "pacing it" is Alien to him;>…
Cheers,
Pat

Oh good, I was wondering how things were going for you two. That sounds great—apart from the tendonitis.

It's going well. His Neurologist Friday told us that biding a reversal Chuck doesn't need to come back;>. I'm actually getting annoyed by all the Nursing; I don't think he needs it. But then again, I'm not PT/OT....
Cheers,

Good to hear that. Hope he figures out pacing, or recovers enough not to need it.

I've had to "sit" on him twice today;>! It does however make his recovery more likely than not to be closest to normal for him. Keeping my eye out for canes long enough for the tall drink of water;>....
