Yes I’m supposed to start PT on Monday although they gave me a lot of

exercises to do at home with stretch bands and Therapy Clay. I’ll probably be

using a walker for a while too. I do have a little memory issues, but it’s

more as though I have to really concentrate sometimes to remember something. And

typing an email takes me two or three times longer as I have to keep going back

over it to correct spelling and make sure it makes sense.

I’m having trouble finding my words too when I speak, but at least my speech

is recognizable. It all seems to be getting easier as I go along. The therapist

in the hospital said to just keep repeating things and my brain will relearn or

find new pathways to the old. I was surprised the most that when I tried to sign

my name and it turned out okay. They said the things that you do the most are

the things most likely to come back the easiest. I did have trouble with

remembering the date, but that’s getting better now too. It seems that every

day I’m impressed by how the body and brain work to heal themselves. We are

definitely “wondrously madeâ€.

Hello Judy

Being in the hospital is tough with food. I tell them I am on a gluten free diet

cause I am allergic to wheat which is true. I am glad to hear you are home and

can control your diet. Are you starting Physical Therapy? Do you have any short

term memory issues?

Ciao-
