It's a milestone

In the past week or two, I've been walking without any pole or cane at home and at the Challenge Center.  Also, I "graduated" from one-on-one physical therapy to a group class once a week. It's a milestone in the long journey of a stroke. For those keeping score at home, I past the 500 day point.

I have a lot to be thankful for each day. As we near Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for all the PTs, OTs, and speech therapists at Alvarado Hospital who worked to strengthen and stretch my right arm, leg and noodle in the first 6 months.  I'm grateful to the Challenge Center for existing, for all the wonderful PTs that helped me with my gait and balance (with a little comic relief thrown in), and the new friends I've met there in various stages of their healing.  Most of all, Larry-sweetie for everything every day!
