That’s how long it’s been since my stroke.
Today was the first day that I actually felt as if I had returned to myself pre-stroke. It’s not been easy. I have a schedule book (seen here) that I’m using to keep track of my day and my tasks. My workout regimen has given me 12 less pounds since I began on March 25. I feel better each day. I can do more each day. Without question, I’m doing much better than I was six months into the stroke.
I was able to do so much yesterday that for the first time, I felt as I had done my job and put everything I had into what i was doing. It was an odd moment where I realized this, but it felt as I had actually accomplished something beyond my regular day to day existence. I had made a difference in my life in so many smaller ways that suddenly the big picture was no longer cloudy but becoming clearer.
I start it all again today and hope to continue this upward climb.
Tally ho!
