Well we are nearing the one week mark. This morning I tried to floss my teeth. For those of you who know me well, I used to brush and floss my teeth all the time (pre-stroke), especially now with braces. So slowly but surely i was able to floss some of my teeth. I will attempt to floss them all today. Where's Alanna when I need her?? Not only is this a time consuming process, especially with braces pre-stroke, but to be able to hold the floss with my left fingers with enough grip is amazing! I still have to think about every bit of movement that I do with the left side of my body. I have to think about lifting my left arm to my mouth (each tooth because right now it is too tiring to hold my left arm up there), then think about opening my hand and fingers, then pinch my fingers on a small piece of dental floss that I can't feel, then try to hold onto it while I floss using my right hand. Then repeat the process on the next tooth.
By the end of each day i am very tired. Physically and mentally, everything I do requires so much time, patience and thought.
Looks like it is going to be a beautiful day here today. The sun is shining this morning, but all the heat is down in SoCal from what I understand. For all those who have asked what they can send me...send some heat up here!
