progress

I've talked about positive progress before and I will again today. The therapy at the C.R.M.H. is slowly working, even though there are days when I don't believe it. The balance is improving, I have an exercise ball that I just got and the regular walks have let me work on the exercises at home too. I can stand on one foot a lot longer this week then last week. They have also been having me use their treadmill at increasing speed every time I go there. It is hard to believe how much your body gets off......when you don't use it for a period of time. Make that a note to self.... The other thing that's noticeable is the right hand wrist movement. When you compare the two, the right one now bends in almost the same as the left. It's still painful to bend the right wrist out too far, but I push it everyday and I got almost 15 degrees over last week. Believe it or not, doing keyboarding gives both wrists strength and endurance when supported correctly. I don't know what tomarrow will bring,but I will continue to work on the challenges.....
