Today is a tiny bit but in the scheme of things probably very little but I have decided to share as it’s the little things that make recovery happen .
I was in my wife’s car travelling home and she wanted her Christmas cards posting in the box at the bottom of the street
I successfully got out of the car ,stick free and posted the cards then returned to the car a bit wobbly but on my feet throughout.
The first of many trips out of the house.

Thanks Sue,I’m never sure if I should bother mentioning this sort of step as it’s isolated and to fit non stroke survivors a bit trivial.
But in my wife’s opinion it’s a great step in independence.

I completely agree with your wife, any step towards independence is a great step . It’s what we are all aiming for ultimately.
Keep up the good work and keep sharing
Regards Sue
It’s true wives are usually right so I put finger to keyboard and update SS we see fit!
I’d say those using this forum are not ‘fit non stroke survivors’ so feel free to post any wins (or losses!!) here.
Well done.

Well done not only on achieving it but also for trying when you could have just sat in the car and let your wife do it.
