Good Wednesday morning to us from this side of the world. We have just arrived home from the hospital for my sister's 6th rehabilitation treatment.
I would only sit down and play with my mobile phones while my sister does her therapy supervised by the assigned physical therapist.
Several minutes before my sister’s treatment was about to end,another physical therapist brought her patient in a wheelchair to converse with another who also has the same sickness as his. "Please talk to each other Sir so both your speech patterns will be corrected".
The male patient asked the other,"how's life treating you these days? ". That was a good start of a conversation.
Patients who suffer from cerebrovascular diseases have slurred speech patterns. I had that once and I was able to be treated with my will power and determination.
I am a warrior. I would not want to give up. And I think the 2 men who were also in wheelchairs have the determination to get well and better.
Do you try and try until you attain your goal?

Hello po. Yes, I did when I was taking my master's degree. I thought I will not be able to finish it and I actually stopped for a year as I was feeling so empty with all the problems I was going thru at that time. But then, my fiance (husband now) pushed me to finish it and even when we were in the hospital, I finished doing my thesis until I eventually graduated. So happy.

@hereandthere no, the wiggling is a remnant of a manifestation of what i was ill with.

@ridingbet I think that we can achieve something if we really focus on it

@ridingbet This is something I have never understood. I have seen it happen even with my discussions

true, but some who fail on first try, do not make another try again for fear of failure the 2nd time.
