Sorry to hear about your husband's stroke. I know that it can be very difficult as you stated most stroke patients make many demands and do not realize how hard it is to constantly be running to assist them. Sometimes they change their sleeping patterns too.

My mother had a stroke too (many year ago) and I had never taken care of anyone before so I had a lot to learn. My mother received rehabilitation at a wonderful hospital that taught me and my sister how to use a hoyer lift at home and they made a home visit to help us out and we used the visiting nurses. You must take one day at a time.

I would suggest that you take a rest whenever possible even though you had so much to do. You need to take care of your self so you can help your husband.

I know that shoulder problems limit alot of things that normally one could do easily. I had physical therapy for one of my shoulders and had to have ultra sound and anti-inflammatory medication through a treatment plan called "Iontophoresis" It uses a small electrical stimulation unit to drive medication through the skin to help reduce inflammation or break up scar tissue in the affected area. Also therapist did stretching of muscles and gave me exercises to do.

Hopefully the cream will help you.

I have been including your husband in my prayers ever since I read that he was in the hospital.

Tina you are in my daily thoughts and prayers. Thinking of you Susan also. I hope you are doing ok.

I will be leaving in less than 2 weeks for my trip to see my granddaughters in Florida.

I wish everyone on this chat a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year.


Take care

Margaret, I really really hope the New Year is a turn around for you. I am so very very sad that you lost Dixie and so very close after losing Tommy. Big hugs to you.

Hope your shoulders are getting better and that Bill continues to improve.

Merlin sounds like he has moved ahead in leaps and bounds, so glad he has settled in so well.
