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 75 - A Good Feeling

Today's post is more about us, than just cleo, for two reasons.

Firstly, we are becoming more used to the limitations of what cleo can do, and as such our teamwork is getting better. We have always worked better as a team, and so it is again, working on such "mundane" stuff as household bills and finances, housework itself, and general day to day things. We are creating our own ways of doing things, and whether they are considered the right way by others, if they work for us, that's the main thing.

I have to add in here too that the girls are an important part of this too, Sarah spent ages ironing, and even told her mum off for interfering with her laundry system!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, it is these moments of normality which give a lift to the rehabilitation because in truth our lives have been far from normal since the stroke, and as we get more and more of these moments we are getting back on course.

Secondly, we have confirmed the arrangements for the handfasting ceremony in June. The venue is fantastic, and exactly the right place for what we want. The atmosphere and feel of Salmestone Grange is perfect. It promises to be a spectacular and very memorable day.
