Thanks for all the words of encouragement.
The day went much better than I expected. I got to spend some good time with the therapists today. Walked about 240 feet (with help) the speech therapist brought some kind of electric device that connected to my throat, sent electronic pulses to my throat muscles, they also gave me some exercises to do when I am back in my room. One of my doctors came by, said I was doing good, he thinks I need to be moved to a full time therapy center.
It has turned cold here, a winter storm is predicted for the next 4 or 5 days, couldn't do much if my health was good.
I just need to man up, I can get thru this, some people think all things happen for a reason, maybe it is true.
Thanks again
