Nice to know

Nice to know OT is alive and well. I'm alive, but not well. Cognitive, yes. Vitals, blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen, all okay. Motor ability? Not so much. Can move from one end of the house to another using a walker, this being made hunt & peck..very slow. Strength getting slowly better along with motor activity. Excercising while using walker.
Hoping for more spinal nervous system healing.

Over & out. Carry on Boys.....

Thanks for checking in Paul.

I’m hoping for continued improvement, even if it’s slower than we are used to.., nobody on this forum is a spring chicken.

update. trying to do this myself. Hunt & PECK. Hand & finger coordination terrible. Trying to improve with hand exercises given by the occupational therapist. But 90% of my posts are my dictating to a long suffering Cindy. This is the most I've personally done.

Atta boy!

Keep trying and keep improving.

I’m glad you are slowing mending and I can only imagine the frustration with struggling to do simple things. Perseverance and hard work will make get you through this.

Onwards and upwards. Keep the updates coming.
