Positive confirmation...

I'm so excited. A friend of Bob's aunt and uncle is a brain surgeon. He called me on the phone. Our phone conversation reinforced my beliefs about Bob's progress. He said not to believe anyone who says that the ability that Bob possesses 6-9 months after the stroke is as good as it's going to get. He said that is a bunch of bullsh**.(not those exact words) He said that it may seem like recovery comes to a stand still, but it only slows as compared to the everyday progress you see in the beginning. I see progress everyday and I can see to the future. He suggested keeping a journal so we can look back to compare where we are at presently as to where we've come from. Think this blogpage will suffice?


The surgeon also said, that Bob's eyes will, rather most likely, correct, but an opthamologist should be seen.


As for the naming issue...This is a common symptom. Naming items and naming faces will return. Even if it doesn't, we all forget names of things and faces. To me, that's no big deal.


I'm am so thankful for the brain surgeon's phone call, and for his affirmation of my beliefs. I told T tonight that given time, he'd be back to his ole' honary self.


Sanity to the lunacy...There's no sanity in this...I was told I'm a liability. So, none of the staff can help me anymore with putting my wheelchair in the car. Some nurses have been secretively helping me, but the word must have gotten out. It's not allowed.


"How ya doin, Bob"..."My legs are paralyzed. I've been standing so long; they don't work anymore."

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

"Father in heaven, today I declare my thanks to You for all You have done in my life. Help me see Your hand of blessing as I continually acknowledge and praise Your name. Fill me with Your peace and joy as I keep You first place in all that I do. In Jesus' Name. Amen"
