will be back

[joy]

I can understand if they want to put you thru more physical therapy jo. it might help your walking, at least I hope so. those falls can be awfully nasty and slow us people down. notice I did not exclude myself from that group

I am hoping that you do not have any more falls this long dreary winter. and no apologies needed for talking about anything. it is allowed here right? I should think so. so go ahead and no need to censor what you say dear jo..

[Jo6]

OK Joy, we need to spend our time having a good time Well, the Speech Therapist did say I graduated. lol Didn't help my spelling though. lol The Physical Therapist is still coming. I KNEW she would know I had fell, but she is so happy and dances around, laughs and just makes a body feel like dancing too! She says I still have to watch and if I can stay off the floor long enough I will be dancing in no time!! lol

She is a very good gal. She makes me think of Beth and actually she looks like Beth. I'm glad I had this group of therapy's, they are the best, much better than the last ones. Well, enough talking about me. I think I am making progress and for that I am thankful!

Take care all and have a good Thanksgiving. my love, Julia

[Jo6]

Pati, I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. You deserve the best!! All my love, Jo

[Jo6]

Well, good news. Ken says if I can find him a 55 Chevy he could make me all better!! Now if it works for me you all might want to try it!

Of course Ken is joking, just trying to cheer me up, but it's nice of him anyway. He has been such a good help to me . So has Harvey and Beth. They both know the therapist that come to help me get my sea legs going again. That has been a great help for me. the therapist have been very good, they are trying their best to help me get going. It helps that they come here at home, it's too hard for me to travel very far.

Beth started barking out orders, she wanted to know if the TP was doing a good job. So, like a good little mom I went thru some of the drills. I was surprised at the strength I had gained. Of course I paid for it Friday, but I keep pushing on. I had a lot of help, many prayers and good thoughts.

I am blessed and I'm thankful for all my friends here at BT.

I love you all, Julia ((((hugs))))

Jo, i had s stoke. hard for me to tpe. doing better. best go now.

[joy]

I am so sorry that I missed that during the time we talked. my ears have been busy with their weird noises and achy pain so I do good to hear every third word during a conversation.

no please don't overtire yourfself but do try to continue to type few words so we can kedep up with you. I hate that for you dear pati. (hugs)

[Jo6]

My dearest Pati, I am so sorry for all that you are going thru. It will take time, but you are a hard worker and I know you will never give up!

If you don't feel like posting please don't worry. If you want to post do so with care. We need you to be well, but not stress yourself out. You are one of the best here at BT. I certainly understand not being able to type, spell, get my words all mied up and everybody around me thinks I have gone over the edge.

Well, I'm still here and I'm still making all kids of mistakes. Some of me family are talking freely about me dying. Well, I'm not ready yet so they will have to wait awhile longer!!

I
m so glad to hear from you and like Joy said, we don't want you to wear yourself out. I'm still trying to get back to some kind of normalcy. Until I do I will keep on trying. We can be there for each other, ok?

Take care dear Pati. My love and prayers will be with you. I'm hear if you need me.

All my love, Jo s

[dawnmn]

Pati, we are all rooting for your recovery. Just post when you aren't so tired. Don't worry about spelling or anything else we can figure out what you mean. you just take care of yourself.

[joy]

both you wonderful people said it nice. I second that, pati we all love you and want you to get better. so when you do feel up to it, pop in here and say here I am! or anything else of your chosing, OK?

you are missed for sure if you are absent even for a few days. take care.

[Buttons2]

went to pt yesterday. not doing so good. time will tke awhile i know. wish i could sleep! deer are here. it's cold but not like some of you! take shower later on-what a chore that u=is. thanks for all the coments it toes help me.

[joy]

pati I had already dreaded the thought for you IF you had been in hospital because I knew how much my stay was. and I almost knew you did not have time to get an insurance policy or something like that THAT WOULOD HELP YOU WITH THE COST.
sorry about caps. well I think I have hears that if you pay something every month, even if small amount, that it will help. because really, a person already sick or disabled and no job , what can they do. nothing

so here is hoping that you will just say, i'll will pat what I can, when I can and hope that works. don't need any more stress do you.

I know trying to do therapy is hard for you pati, (right Julia, u too) but do give it a try. I was silly and did not a few years ago when I should have tried to go and do therapy. but my appointment was messed up when I went so I just gave up. duh how stupid on my part. now I wobble and can't do that for very long.

yes the cold has reached us. ice last night and really cold today with none of the ice leaving us. we had an ice storm in 2009 so folks remembered and bougt out all the generator, bayyeries gas cans and such. some people near us went for a month without electrity. that's bad.

so stay safe pati and when you feel up to let us know more about ho you are doing ok? well for that matter, everyone be safe and stay in touch..

[Jo6]

Pati, I found I was having such a hard time in the shower. We have a tub too, but that is out, I can't get in and out.

When Mom was sick I went to Revco and bought one of those hard plastic chairs. They are very steady. I remembered the chair, had Ken to hunt it up and wash it good. He set it in the tub, put it about the middle, put all my body wash, shampoo, all I needed. He would turn the shower on, but I figured out how to do this myself.

I sat in the chair, did my hair, then washed every thing else. Beth had brought me a hand help shower thingy. When I finished I called Ken to help me out of the tub, dried the rest of me sitting on the commode lid with a towel on it. Dressed, then back into my walker. I will probably will have to use the walker the rest of my life, but I've resigned myself to it.








take care dear, Jo

I'll write to you all along, seeing how you are doing. Maybe we can help each other. I do want you to get back as much as you can. Keep your eyes on every thing that happens with you.

[dawnmn]

Pati, so glad that your roommate is helping you. You keep up the good work and slowly you will get the strength back. Take naps when your body tells you too.
