Good afternoon. It's five days post stroke, and PT was able to get George standing. He's doing a lot better and we're able to hold conversations. He still says random things from time to time. But, I am happy to see him improving. We will never know if some of it is side affects from some of the meds making him loopy. I just want to see him recover. Post hospitalization he'll be on less meds so that'll help.

@CarolDM I am. I think Chilly is starting to stress out, but I can't be two places at once.

His vocabulary is almost all back, but he still struggles with aphasia from time to time.

@RebeccasFarm Yes. His brain needs to creat new pathways. Therapy will help him work with that.

He stood today, shuffled a couple steps. He would've tried to move to a normal chair, if his heart wasn't racing. But, I am proud of how easy it was.

Me, too. Once in a while he says something random. But, nothing that therapy can't fix.
