Recent events

For the last few days I have spent much time working on my physical therapy. Now, one thing I can ensure all of you don't have an uncommon alcoholic beverage the night before an actual pt session! I made that choice on Sunday which turned out to be a mistake and I paid for it! Needless to say, i didn't do so well on Monday. Long story short, not a good call on my aprt, lesson learned!
Yet another thing to remember for the next time to not be in  my own way. However, i did walk half a lap which was not too cool considering my previouse walking BUT I also didn't have a drink the night before...
Anyway, I was able to to work a lot on my core activation and stability, and wow, that isn't as easy as it sounds. Of course it is vital to increase my endurance and get to recovery.
Today during my speech therapy, my speech pathologist told me I was loud and clear with good air support which is awesome! My speech doc is always kind and supportive, her team changes out frequently but they are always great people and all of them have helped me speak better. The doctor is happy to see me progress NOT regress as some other neuro doc suggests.
The neurologist still pitches MS on me due to my mri scan though he doesn't even consider all of my history nor improvements. The speech pathologist sees the difference and cannot quite understand why "they" ould still go with plain book answers....Obviously opinions vary greatly even within the same facility.
It is troubling some times, however, I am improving (snail pace maybe) and I know it - PERIOD! Even s I put this blog together I feel I have made good strides of improvement by being more organizd in my though processing.
I kknow I have much longer to go but I will continue on  and not let anyone tell me I can't!

  1. Each post I read is an inspiration, and a source of laughter:) I know other AW2 families would benefit greatly, so I will send on and hope AW2 supporters find motivation in your messages.
