Married 64 years !
Hubby has had three strokes! His mind was extra sharp! Now it is semi!
His memory is good!
He has home health ! For PT!
Bless him
He is on a walker and oxygen !!
This has been our life since the third. Stroke( two and 1/2
Years ago)
I am the only care giver!
He can shower by himself and dress himself ! Which is a blessing ! Or he would not be home !
I now weigh 112 lbs ! From 145!!
Guess a great diet ! Except I am 5ft 8 and look like a stick !!
My husband was always very active as well as social !
Golf everyday ! Friends ! Out two or three times a week for dinner!
