One year ago today, I got the scare of my life.
I came home to my husband on the floor, pretty much incoherent. We didn't know if he was going to survive the night
A year later, he's doing so well! Still working on the left arm, but it's moving and he's alive. So much has changed, and yet - he's still "my" Larry. The one I married almost 14 years ago :)
He does most of the work, and I cheer him on. Sometimes, he calls me a grinning idiot :P Other times, I'm annoying LOL but, it works. He keeps trying and working and getting better. That's what's important.
I've got your back, darlin'. Always.

Botox was done yesterday - no ill effects except a bit of tenderness in the arm :)
Haven't seen any real effect yet, but it's still very early.
Larry's been reminiscing the past couple of weeks - to see if his memory is working. It's only 6 days to the one year anniversary of his stroke. We're actually going out for dinner, and celebrating his surviving it :)
He's shown such amazing progress the past week - I think those small seizures meant more healing... but I'm no doctor :D

Happy New Year!!!
A bit late, but better late than never.
Larry's been doing well - until today. Another arm/hand seizure, and perhaps one yesterday. So, tomorrow I call the "seizure" doctor and find out what's next. *sigh*
Over 2 months without, and now another.... we can handle the arm ones, but what if they escalate?
Botox is on Friday... unless this causes them to cancel. I'll be calling them tomorrow too.
