Bartosz, the therapist, did not come today. He will come tomorrow. I took Joan into the hallway to do her exercise walking but not going up the stairs. There was too much resistance from her so to avoid a further problem, we did not climb the stairs.
To be honest about it, Bartosz started working with her for the 4th time to try to help her improve. The first two years after each stroke she did make progress, good progress. However, after last year's stroke, even with his help, it did not really change anything. It is the same now.
He began last December to come again but now it is the middle of February and I regret to say there is no progress. If there is any, it is only during that time when she actually exercises. An hour or less as time passes, everything is forgotten. It is a constant struggle to get her active, creating too much tension between us. She cannot remember he was even there.
I realize now that it makes no sense to continue like this. I know the exercises of walking, climbing the stairs, balancing, and using the stretch bands to keep her strength up. I must take this upon myself to do with her as much as possible or she will allow it.
Dzisiaj Bartosz, terapeuta nie przyszed艂. Przyjdzie jutro. Zabra艂em Joan na korytarz, 偶eby po膰wiczy艂a chodzenie, ale nie wchodzenie po schodach. Stawia艂a zbyt du偶y op贸r, wi臋c aby unikn膮膰 dalszych problem贸w, nie wchodzili艣my po schodach.
Szczerze m贸wi膮c, Bartosz zacz膮艂 z ni膮 pracowa膰 po raz czwarty, aby pom贸c jej usprawni膰 si臋. Przez pierwsze dwa lata po ka偶dym udarze robi艂a post臋py, dobre post臋py. Jednak po zesz艂orocznym udarze, nawet z jego pomoc膮, tak naprawd臋 nic si臋 nie zmieni艂o. Teraz jest tak samo.
Zacz膮艂 przychodzi膰 w grudniu zesz艂ego roku, a teraz mamy po艂ow臋 lutego i z przykro艣ci膮 stwierdzam, 偶e nie ma 偶adnych post臋p贸w. Je艣li ju偶, to tylko wtedy, gdy faktycznie 膰wiczy. Gdy mija godzina lub mniej, o wszystkim zapomina. To ci膮g艂a walka o jej aktywno艣膰, kt贸ra tworzy zbyt du偶e napi臋cie mi臋dzy nami. Nie pami臋ta, 偶e on w og贸le by艂.
Teraz zdaj臋 sobie spraw臋, 偶e kontynuowanie tego nie ma sensu. Znam 膰wiczenia polegaj膮ce na chodzeniu, wchodzeniu po schodach, utrzymaniu balansu i u偶ywaniu ta艣m do rozci膮gania, aby wzmocni膰 si艂臋. Musz臋 wzi膮膰 to na siebie i robi膰 z ni膮 jak najwi臋cej, kiedy ona na to pozwoli.
