It’s been a bit difficult to write lately.  My left side is much weaker now and has now moved into my arm, hands and shoulder.  As I may have mentioned before, when I had the 8-day stint in the hospital, I felt a lot more weakness coming out. That was in October and it’s declined from there.  Simple tasks such as buttoning a dress shirt, tying shoes, getting my left arm into a jacket – things we don’t think about can be frustrating now!  Playing piano is more difficult which is hard for me to accept.  Carrying a glass in my left hand without spilling it is very challenging.  I’ll be doing another occupational therapy assessment soon.

In the hospial, the MRI indicated ischemia (minor stroke) so it’s either that or tumor growth,  I have an MRI scheduled for Jan 8th so that will be telling. 

I’ve received a number of emails and I’m sorry I haven’t been able to respond.  It’s just a bit hard at the moment.  I am working on my arm really hard right now, lifting light weights in therapy and still focused on walking of course.  It’s going to take time however…but God is on my side.  Whatever His plan might be is where I will go. There isn’t much choice.  I’m taking all of the worldly steps I can.

I hope all is well.  I pray I can ramble on longer in posts soon!
