My mother, Bev and our oldest, Sherri
Just in case there is still anyone following the blog, I apologise for taking so long to update it. Bev has been home for 2 months now and we are getting into some sort of a routine. Bev's arms and hands are still weak, in particular her left arm and hand. Her walking is slowly improving but her balance still needs a lot of work. Bev's short term memory is not very good but hopefully in time it will improve. A physiotherapist has been coming to the house twice a week for 1 hour visits since mid July. Starting this week physiotherapy will be 4 times a week for an hour each time. An occupational therapist will be coming twice a week for an hour each time and Bev will have a once a week visit with a psychologist for the next ten weeks. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy may last up to 3 years. Bev has permanently lost the sight of her right eye and the right side of her face feels numb. She can play cards with the help of a card holder, she can read using a Kindle. Bev watches a lot of TV especially Criminal Minds. We do go out to visit people or go to a restaurant. We went to Balm Beach near Midland and stayed overnight. It looks like it will be a long slow haul from here on in. I don't expect any fast improvements like we saw during the first 4 months. Considering that, this will be my last Blog for awhile. I will try to do 1 final Blog in February, 1 year from the date of the accident. Thanks for the support from all the friends and family who followed this Blog.
