I am realy having trouble walking
 

the p.t.s are mostly spending time on fine motor control which i soreley need
but my walking is getting worse. they are spending some time on that but just a little. My memory is getting better. I have been very tired so Idon't know how much physical stuff i can do. they are nice and young and send out good vibrations.

Make sure you tell them you are having problems walking. They can do a evaluation to see if they should be concerned. Or if its just something to keep an eye on. They used to do a lot of that with me.

Donna

they know it and see it but I don't know which they think right now is more important. they also know i am tired and like to sit down

Good Bobby.

They may be monitoring your walking also.

it looks like i am going t fall at any minute. they keep in saying go slowing. i take my cane. the sound just out in my computer. I thought it was a power strip but then i knowed out the phone.

I know how that is. My knees hurt from time, to time. I'm out of shape. I exercised a lot in my youth. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Have you spoken to them about how they decide what to prioritize?


M

no. I guess i should, we agreed that it was inpmportant to write and type and dial the phone. I make so many cirrectuns with typing and i forgot where some keys are. as the day progresses my walking gets better, I kook funny. I git tired if cirrectung.lol
now that i have the sound back I am kistening ti a lot of gorldon lightfoot. o just love himthe cane really helps after a while
I just bought some nail clipperfs from ebay-they always look dirty so soembidy said cut then short. also bought more rayon pants. I xould open a stre

Keep being patient with yourself.

You have made progress with PT and will continue to make progress.

it is like i have so manh things going onthis past year that half the time i don't take anything seriously/ i was walking much better right afterthhe stroke and before the surgery and then i got better after allll the bike riding but then it turned and i got worse and the last two times at the other place i couldn;t finish the tasks annnnnd the i really got worse. I stopped going . I sort of felt i was going tobe a crippled. since so much had happenec that though didn't snk in. i don't know what to think
i wish i could fall asleep. i haven't even looked out tosee ifit is snowing
what a joke two men were flirting with eme today. one two years yoounger and the other a few years older. that one i have a crush on. the other one was telling me how beatiful i was and my body was. I was saying i am fat and 72
and he persisted He is my new hairdresser-a russian

It is great to have a nice hair dresser :)

Maybe you have made more progress than you think.

It is hard to see things when the moods are off.

robert said he will help me buy a cell pkone-i don't have a land line i have ooma

Please speak up to your PTs and let them know how concerned you are about your walking. They may not have noticed everything you have been experiencing. Improving your fine motor skills is very important, but working on your legs is more important, and a safety issue, because if they are weak that could lead to falls.

I'm glad your memory is getting better!!! :)
And that Robert is going to help you get a new cellphone.

You must feel flattered that you have two men chasing you! ;)
They are obviously drawn to you because they think you are beautiful inside and out. Your hairdresser seems a little feisty tho! lol ;)

WILL do. i bad mouthed the other place i went and said they hardky did fine motor control. also i have been very tired whchi is obvious to then
my hair is mostly gray-the one i have the crush on knows i have false teeth because i know he has false teeth. seniior centers can be funny.alice was upset because she is 88 and she is not sure who is older. told her she would live to be a 100. she can easily walk 2 miles

i was told today they do half fine motor control and the other balance and strengthening the legs. I a, going to have them switch and first do the legs and balance so i won't be as tired when that comes and also I will get more of it.
today it was just 15 minutes

That sounds like a good plan :)

today I will put the plan in action and ask to do the leg work first. hope i don't rattle anybody's chains. like brokenfriend you sometimes have to be your own advocate

I don't think you will rattle anyone's chains. I think your plan makes perfect sense, and once you explain it, they won't argue with you.

Personally I think they will like the fact that you have been thinking
this through. And will adapt to the request.
