Life has changed dramatically for me since my stroke last year. It is difficult for me to walk independently, and I am not able to drive. My husband & I do everything together; I need to hold his arm for balance. Because of my memory issues I use my iPhone calendar to note all events or appointments. I also use a paper calendar which hangs in our kitchen to note things. For important commitments, I will write a note as a reminder & place it by my chair in the living room, where I typically sit when at home. My husband & I work together to complete household chores. I begin additional PT in September in hopes of improving my ability to walk independently….which would greatly improve my situation and increase my ability to do things on my own.
