I'm still kicking even though I've been quiet lately. The recovery from the stroke continues at a snails pace,imo. I am walking with a rollator really well. Donated my wheelchair to a needy person in my hospital hall.
Sunday will mark 100 days in hospital and rehab. Talk of discharge on Monday was starting to get louder, until I fell in bathroom and fractured my hip 3 weeks ago. One surgery and 3 screws later, I'm walking almost as I was prior. I got 8000 steps in 1 day last week.
Not sure when I will get home, the lady I am dating told me in no uncertain terms that I will be leaving hospital to her place.
I jokingly accused her of using my injury for her gain. But I'm looking forward to it.
So I'll try to be more open as I start a few new chapters in my life. I'm sure MrsK and LilBit would approve.
So until later,,

(1,961 posts)After a construction site accident resulting in a broken ankle and pelvis and a 100% knee dislocation it took eight months of physical therapy and hard work to be rid of wheel chair and walker, but I did it! Don't give up...it really is one step at a time!
GOOD LUCK!
Keep up the good work!

I have to add, you're getting in more steps than I do a day.
