I’m happy to hear that you are learning from these posts. That’s what they are designed for.
Progress in my health issues are going good, but today was hard for me in speaking. Yesterday, I was at physical therapy and got to use the Reformer and it helped that already had Pilates experience only I was used to mat Pilates (which is way harder)…well my brain is fatigued today.
In my stroke recovery group, we have a saying: “you can’t walk and chew gum at the same time” - which is pretty much true. After a day of heavy physical exertions, the brain kinda goes on vacation, so things like speech tend to become more difficult.
I just look at it like the brain is still rewiring itself (neuroplasticity). All your brain wants to do is go to sleep. It’s tough but I take it in stride.🙂
Times like that are surprisingly made better by eating ice cream. I noticed Ben and Jerry have come out with some interesting new flavors while shopping the other day. Closing your eyes while savoring Cherry Garcia seems to help also.
Much thanks, Tara. I’m saving all your write ups to learn for myself.
Hope you’re making good progress on your health issues. Strength!

I plan on having ice cream *and* chocolate chip cookies later!
