A blog that is following the life of Cecelia, living at home after her stroke (which left her with right side paralysis and aphasia). There's no place like home!

Monday Came Early
With Linda working overtime today, and having to leave earlier than normal. Ceil was up before the crack of dawn. After breakfast, Ceil did her spinning, and then we did ROM on her right arm for about 20 minutes. I usually do the complete arm, including scapular rotation to promote circulation and keep the shoulder loose. After the morning snack, we did ups and downs at the sink. I have Ceil pull herself up from the chair, stand a bit and then sit down in a controlled manner. This helps to increase strength and circulation in the right leg, as well as to promote better balance when standing. This exercise also teaches Ceil how to control her hips and legs when sitting down. More to come.
