Over time I have learned many things and actions I can take to improve things, like learning and napping.
Constraint induced therapy, restricting my good eye making the bad one do work.
Walking, looking up, looking left and right and even doing 360 degree turns to challenge balance, practice things in general. Find the weakness and challenge it to the limit and then push it some more...safely.
Six months ago I went to the dentist, he needed to drill and fill a tooth on the right upper back side of my mouth. He injected freezing into that side and went away for ten minutes. When he came back he asked "is it frozen yet?" I said, "I'm not sure my mouth has felt this way since the stroke". So has my right arm and the rest of the right side of my head. He took xrays to make sure I did not had an unnoticed cavity. I was cavity free!
So I will continue to incorporate things into my life that I have learned that might partially be responsible for regaining abilities.
I know a big factor is to find a rhythm incorporating things in my life...things like walks, meditation, napping, exercising the brain and other things...it sure would be helpful to have a full time therapist or trainer...who can afford this? Especially at this time in life without a means to pay for it.
One of my current searches is for information regarding removing the numbness from the body. If you know anything please make a comment.
