Prognosis Progress

[mikailborg]

Since I'm not sure how much the grapevine knows:

Mom's doing incredibly better. She can stand on her own for a short time, and walk fairly well with a kind of cut-down walker thingy.

Last night, she was able to move her fingers on her own. The therapist had a TENS unit causing the fingers to twitch for exercise, then suddenly looked at Mom and said, "I turned it off a few minutes ago. That right there is all you."

So there we are. Her leg is supporting her, and her arm and hand are taking commands again. She just needs to practice a while for dexterity, and she'll be back on the computer and back to her knitting.

This is WONDERFUL.

Speaking of mom, I need you to see about organizing a cleanup and fixup party for your mom's house. I hope to be able to send her home before the end of August and the house really, really, needs to be uncluttered. Thanks in advance.
