Thank you for your good wishes. It is slow progress here, but it is progress nevertheless. I’m pleased to hear your news, you must be proud of him. By the way you deserve a pat on the back too, your support will no doubt be a great help. Make time for yourself, you will need to keep your strength and morale up. This is a long road we are all on.
All the best to you both
Keep on keepin’ on

before all this a physiotherapist encouraged me to step on and off the first step. She assured me it would rapidly strengthen the muscles of my lower limb.

Hi @lynne_day923
There are some good exercises videos on both different strokes and stroke association YouTube channels
To find the DS ones go to YouTube and enter the search “stroke exercise programme:”
There are lots of them ranging from levels 1 to 5
To find the SA ones go to YouTube and into the search ”Stroke recovery exercises - Red group" or Amber or Green group - red is for people who are chair bound and green are pretty demanding. If you go to the stroke association website for online activities and find the registration at the end Nicola and Lisa running online classes using the exercise videos with peer group involvement to help motivation
Also pretty good the YouTube’s from Tara https://youtube.com/@rehabhqofficial and Elyse https://youtube.com/@PostStrokeOrg
Ciao

@lynne_day923 a lot of us suffer more in the cold weather. One of the joys of stroke.
Sounds like things are progressing well though.
A happy Christmas to you and yours too.
