"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!"

...--Michael Scott, 'The Office' My Physical Therapist has been stretching my legs AND been having me do leg MOVEMENT exercises.  She was "VERY IMPRESSED" with my LEFT LEG moving ability! HEY!  I'M TRYIN'!

"It's ALL GOOD!"

My evening staff-person, my Physical Therapist and my Occupational Therapist ALL told me--SEPARATELY--that they've noticed that I'm "improving".  YAY!

"MY BAD!"

I apologize to my "readers"/"viewers" for my SLIGHT hiatus.  I've just been distracted by other "patients"' LACK of effort, and I've wanted to "VENT".  But then, I realize that THIS BLOG is about MY PROGRESS, NOT their LACK THEREOF! I've used my "SPIDER-SENSE"(--Spiderman) to detect that I have a greater degree of PAINLESS LEFT-SHOULDER/ARM MOVEMENT!  (To be continued on whether I can shoot spider-webs from my wrists...)

"BRAIN INJIRY, WHAT?!"

So, I just pedalled on the "FOOT-bike".  For awhile today, my "high" (output) was 57 rpm (57 revolutions-per-minute = 0.95 complete wheel turns per second).  THEN, I "kicked" it up a notch to 63 rpm.  (THAT = 1.05 complete wheel turns per second.) Hand-held calculators require SO MUCH WORK!  So, I just rely on my brain. (Ergo, I did those calculations MENTALLY.)

SELF-ANALYSIS:

Outside of my memory-loss and decreased patience, I feel that my injuries are ALMOST ALL physical.  For example, I have "tone" ("slight lack of control") along my left side.  But other than a previous BOTCHED surgery on my right forearm, my right side works FAIRLY WELL. It seems to think: "COMPENSATE!" (WOW!  DO I HAVE 2 BRAINS?!)

CORRECTION!

I might have made a TYPO in my last blog. "57 rpm =" 0.95 COMPLETE 360 degree turns per second (I didn't want to falsify information for my "audience".)
