Bob had a doctor appointment at the VA today. The doctor is in "training" with Bob to be his replacement as lay leader in the Methodist church where he attends. Hopefully, she has a string or two to pull with getting him placed in the transitional living at the VA.
Honestly, I feel Bob has lots of physical therapy to do. Other than that, his mental capacity will recover (that's my unprofessional opinion, but a loved-ones opinion too). Jill Bolte Taylor says that most doctors say that whatever mental well-being a person has six months after a stroke is all the better they will be. She says that is "hog-wash"! It took her eight years to fully recover after her near-death stroke, and she's completly recovered.
Bob was pretending to talk into a microphone tonight. It was funny.
Have you checked out travel-mobility.com yet? Check out our new website. Pass it on too. We'd appreciate it.
Bob walked again today. He gets excited about it Walking also gets him very winded.
A prayer of healing and strength:
Dear God,
Use every event in my life, even my present circumstance, to work within me to bring healing of body, mind, soul, spirit, and relationship. In every way manifest your blessing in and through my life. Amen.
