#WheelchairWednesday  Me on my Nustep… finally

So, I finally figured out the issue with the video not uploading properly and now you can see it below. I’m able to work out 3 quarters of my body, but the left arm remains spastically paralyzed. Maybe next week I’ll post a video of how much mobility I’ve been able to achieve over the 10 years since my stroke. I think that you might find it interesting.

When I used the Nustep in the hospital during stroke rehab, I had to have my physical therapist stabilize my left leg and my left foot was tethered to the stepper. I’ve certainly come a long way since then. FYI I’m not wearing my AFO brace here.

#FeministFriday I’m taking great glee in finally being able to say it

I don’t have children by choice, but I’ve always wanted to have a reason to say a particular phrase to a man, and yesterday morning I finally got to say it to my husband. I awoke this morning horribly sick, achy joints, skin and head entirely stuffed up, and an exhausting fever. Over the past few days, the hubby claimed to have a sinus infection, he gets them from time to time, so I thought little of it. Yesterday morning I finally got the perfect reason. The phrase is YOU DID THIS TO ME! I’ve been taking great glee in saying this hourly ever since, so much so that I almost don’t want to get better… almost .
