cva with right hemiplegia

for the past two days I have had a patient who is a recent cva with right sided hemiplegia... translated into english... stroke with right sided weakness... gotta love medical terminology! So anyway, the point - they pt (patient) has made tremendous progress over the last two days... and today was actually feeding themselves! I was super happy - and the family is being so supportive so that makes a great big difference! smiles... all my other pts were great also... I had one pt who was Italian... it was fun to speak in Italiano with them and to reminisce about my visit to Italia... The staff are great - and I am loving my placement there - sooo hard to believe that October is almost over! yikes! but that means... ho ho ho CHRISTMAS! (oh I better not get started... or I'll be on a tangent...)
So halloween... the Jack n Jill is on Saturday night... its gonna be great fun! I am excited to dress up - so much fun pretending to be a kid again! I hope we raise lots of money for Jo n Theresa!

Ok... totally zonked... been up since 5:30am... now almost 11pm... and worked 13 of those hours... whine whine whine... yes I know, welcome to the world of adulthood - giggles... thank you Papa for the ability to work...
