Good day wonderful peeps,
I must be on a roll, or call me crazy. Yesterday evening my proprioception completed. That is my awareness of my body (affected side), its position in 3d space, feeling my ribs, and internals all turned a corner. It started a month ago when I started feeling the weight of various body parts. I did many tests to confirm this. I can’t say what a test of endurance and stamina it has been to live for 17 months without this ability. I had no clue about the weight bearing structure of my skeleton, my shifting centre-of-gravity, correct muscle usage and synergy. Now I can feel inside and outside my body (through my fascia) and yes, we have 6 senses, not 5 !!!
To top it all, I discovered, once I got to bed that we have a vestigial 3rd eyelid. That’s because, depending on genetics, some non-Asian people already have a second eyelid. I discovered this because I opened this 2nd eyelid, and the pain of bristles against my eye vanished, and I felt no more pain. I’d heard of old injuries causing pain, again, but this was like the body doing a complete overhaul. My eye was well watered from tears, and I said to myself let’s look this up in the morning.
How many times do we fail because we were turned back at the last minute? I was told we had 1 eyelid, and from then on kept quiet about my feelings, thinking I would be ridiculed. This is what a stroke does. Vestigial (I had to look up that word) indeed !!!
A breakthrough & have a great weekend to all!!
Roland
