PurpleHeather is ecstatically happy that she has passed her ST2 exam !!!
After nearly 3 years Dad is able to move his foot a little today for the first time since his stroke.
This is completely unexpected. We’re not expecting miraculous events and for him to be able to walk unaided but all progress is good. I’m not sure whether he can feel the foot or just move it but Mum said that he could flex the foot up and down by a easily visible amount. Mum also said that his foot looks a different shape and colour (no longer looking like a rubbery jelly-like foot the muscles must be starting to work) and has been changing shape for the past couple of weeks or so.
WOW!!!
Who would have thought it? Not me.
He has shown a few other signs of progress over the past few months. He has learned to use an old mobile phone – you know the type with few functions and no camera. Last year he could use just the last dialed number now he knows how to search through the address book and even check to see when his battery is running low.
It is a lot of progress considering the doctors said that most progress is made over the first 6 months with some further progress up to two years. Little did they know my Dad ;)
