Tonight we had the pleasure of a visit from a young man I helped improve his English when he was still in high school. His name is Max, and along with his brother and sister, I was lucky enough to be part of their growing up. Now, after spending ten year out of Poland and in the United States he has returned home. His English is excellent. In six months he will be 30 years old. It's things like that, that brings joy into my life.
When Joan had professional physical therapists to help her recover from strokes and seizures, I made videos of what they were doing with her. I have been watching them for the last two days, writing down how different exercises were done. The reason is that she is getting weaker, and it's partly do to dementia, but also because she does no exercising. I can't let that go on.
So, yesterday, I started slowly with 4 easy exercises. They were easy enough that she did not resist. My plan is to build on them each day until the results are visible. They are mainly for balance, leg strength, and getting out of her chair.
