This stroke thing is really something. I have learned alot!! For instance, this morning I learned it is not a good idea to put three big bath towels in the wash with four sheets (They won't agitate enough!!) Soooo.. I put them in the bathroom sink until the sheets were done. What a drippy mess.!! Tonight I am going to do the towels!!

The Rehab Center Dr. of Internal Medicine stopped by today and said he was going to work aggressively to get her blood pressure down before she leaves to avoid a second stroke. I am very, very happy to hear this.
She is getting visibly better each day, if only a little bit and that is what is important. She is looking forward to "Dog Therapy Day" tomorrow.
Linda said , '"She thanks everyone for their kind thoughts and she is working very hard to get better."
Linda and Evan,
ReplyDeleteHang in there. Linda, I know you are a fighter so keep at it!! Evan, good luck with the laundry!! You do realize that this will be your job from now on because you can't deny you don't know how to do it!!!:) Thanks for the daily blogs. Rita
Yea Linda! Yea Linda! Yea Linda!
ReplyDeleteWe are so thrilled with your progress and we know others are too.
It is a good thing you have Evan doing all the homemaking chores. From now on he can do all the homemaking chores such as laundry and dishes and vacuuming. He can become that little Swedish maid he has always wanted.
Love, Francee and Ivol
After 40 years of marriage...any help -- laundry or otherwise is appreciated! Linda, hang tough we're all pulling and praying for you!
