Just got back from CNB bank on Summerhill Road
They've known me for forty years at that bank.
I walked in with a sheet folded in thirds so it was about four inches wide .
I had cash paperclipped to it.
I carried it in my left hand.
I put it up in the counter and they lady had been there thirty years. She's known me as long time.
She made a pretty LOUD, surprised noise !!
She apologized and said, "I had no idea you could move your hand or arm.". ,,," I said why's that?"
She said, "Well..... You know, I mean you had that stroke.... And
.. uh... I haven't seen you move it in a long time."
I told her... THAT'S NOT ME.
THAT'S AMANDA'S DOING.
Amanda is my neuro occupational therapist
I told her about Amanda.
The good and the, well, you know, the part where when I get going kinda good in one direction... Pow, she swerves me and changes it up and it's something I really maximally struggle to try to do. Like back to square one. Then she shows me things and I go home and work hard to get better for the next session.
She asked if Amanda had wings. She proclaimed... SHE'S AN ANGEL
.
OKAY, you need to meet her before we go too far down that road
Seriously... THAT was pretty cool.
I have a TENS unit for electrical stimulation of my fingers, arm, and shoulder.
A mirror box that I put my affected hand in and do things with my normal hand... And it looks like my left hand is doing it. It's really strange to see that cause it looks real. IT tricks your brain to send impulses to the affected hand and rebuild the neural pathway.
I have elastics to pull, push and to things that attach to a door to pull against.
An arm bike that sits on a table and I pedal with my hands for my hand, wrist arm and shoulder.
I have a little plastic thing that I hold and each finger has to push against its own spring. That way each finger's neural pathway is stimulated.
And, other things.
