OT - news from Julia Sidebottom

posted with permission.....


hi karen,

I have been away. Had a small stroke on sept. 8th. doing much
better. Thoughts still a bit jumbled up but am working hard and getting
back on my feet and hands are working fair... great physical therapy! OT
working with BIG stitching cards! Will be quilting again in no
time! Vision is fair and swallowing is improving. Dr.s are confident
that I will get most back again.. coming along good. Had good news and
progress report and hospital on wed. helped my mood alot. Thank goodness
for spell checker on the computer.
I have no concept of numbers any more. I hope this comes back it is
very frustrating not to be able to understand what to do with them. I am
spending a lot of time relearning to count and add and subtract again it is
very difficult. So much for that.
I will get back on the ng as soon as I can.. I don't know right now when
that will be.. I just want to be a bit stronger and able to follow things
better first. To many fried brain cells right now.
hugs julia
