I'm officially done with outpatient therapy since the 1st of October. I just had a few appointments left, so I stayed with my parents a bit longer. Next week I can probably go home. I've been doing electro stimulation for my hand by myself, my way and I think it's helping. Early in the morning I can put my hand flat on the mattress. The rest of the day I still can't stretch any fingers, but it's something. I am in a few stroke survivor groups and I am planning to make some exercise videos to try and help some of the other survivors. Thanks to fitnessblender I know a lot about fitness and I really want to help others with exercises that specifically benefit stroke survivors. I can't pick up a dumbbell and Today I realized I could try a clean and press, and that it would be a perfect exercise for wrist stability and grip. And to help me get back to weight lifting. I tested it today with a 1 kilo weight and I was able to do the clean and press!! I haven't been excited in a while, but this definitely was exciting. 1 kilo isn't much but I got it to my shoulder and didn't drop it so I'm happy. Wanted to share it with you all. Everyone here has been so involved and amazing.
Little bit of hope
