Well, in addition to it being Taco Tuesday yesterday, I also went to my sisters to visit Dad. He’s still improving. His mind is still there. He’s regaining the control of his right side (when I saw him in the hospital, he was eating with his left hand). I think the longest lasting effect from his stroke will be his speech. I can see this from his use of circumlocution. But you’re not going to get it back if you don’t use it, I guess I can help him by just conversing with him.
Rehabbing from a stroke is very hard work. And I can see the effort he has put into it to come this far. I will never call my dad lazy again (although to be honest, I never did to begin with)….
