On monday 21st November 2005 my partner cleo had a stroke. Since then we are bashing our heads against all the problems of rehabilitation and care that most people never encounter.This blog will be a record of our road to recovery and the thoughts I have along the way.....

Day 54 - Looking forward.

The weekend looms and cleo is always a little down at these times. I have to go to work, and she hates me being away for all three days at the weekends. She looks tired this week too. We have done lots of physio with James, lots of walking at home, been out and about all week, and of course she is wrappeed up in the arrangements for the wedding too. This morning, by way of a change we had arranged physio at 10.00am. James has really been pushing her hard, but I guess thats good, and today was no exception: working on getting her balance and stability better, as well as further manipulation and exercises on her arm and hand. She tries so hard, and I know she is really frustrated right now that there has not been any movement in the hand, although we take encouragement from the fact that her shoulder seems far more stable ( a sign that the muscles are beginning to work again) and there is some action in the muscles at the top of her arm, although only very minimal right now.

I guess the highlight of the day was the arrival of the dress that i bought for cleo to wear to the wedding, and the handfasting ceremony. I think she likes it! This afternoon sarah and cleo spent a while beginning preparations for the wedding in February, and the handfasting in June. More of that later no doubt, but let's just say it's all in hand.

I am sure they will go over budget! But who Cares! You can't put a price on happiness. I will be the happiest person on this earth when cleo is my wife.

Take My Breath Away.

Oooh oooh take it take it all away
Oooh ooh take my breath away
Oooh ooh yoooo take my breath away
Look into my eyes and you'll see
I'm the only one
You've captured my love stolen my heart
Changed my life
Every time you make a move you destroy my mind
And the way you touch
I lose control and shiver deep inside
You take my breath away
You can reduce me to tears with a single sigh
Ev'ry breath that you take
Any sound that you make is a whisper in my ear
I could give up all my life for just one kiss
I would surely die if you dismiss me from your love
You take my breath away
So please don't go
Don't leave me here all by myself
I get ever so lonely from time to time
I will find you anywhere you go
I'll be right behind you
Right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep until I find you
To tell you that you just take my breath away
I will find you anywhere you go
Right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep until I find you
To tell you when I've found you
I love you
Take my breath take my breath ... away
