Josephine

As a result of my stroke, I have some deficits on my left, most notably, I lack fine motor skills in my left hand and I lack coordination between my left and right hands.  I also cannot feel the muscles in the back of my thigh and commands aren't well received to my left hip.  This makes it tricky to walk, so I have to use a walker.


This is Josephine.  The girls and I decorated her with some decorated duct tape.  I figured that if people are going to stare anyway, they might as well have something to look at.  Hopefully, I won't need her forever, but while I have her, she might as well be cute.

In the rehab hospital, they gave me the bag that hangs over the front.  It's really useful for carrying meds, my glucometer, my planner (because I have so many doctor's appointments any  more, I can't remember them all) and my therapy tools.  That way I can do my hand exercises anywhere I am.

I really don't have anything profound to say right here.  Or at all in general.  Today is kind of a blah, staying at home day.
