I am doing some personal research and trying to find statistics about the total amount of stroke survivors who are not able to walk unassisted and use mobility devices (wheelchairs, scooters, etc.). The purpose of my research is to define the scale of the group of stroke survivors that I […]

There is not much new happening with us, so I thought I would share our story about our visiting hedgehog friend and flea bag dogs. We’ve had a hedgehog that we call “Ed” visiting for many years. We met him first when he was not much bigger than a tennis […]

Rob ordered all kinds of nice painting supplies. They arrived today and now he can make the next step in painting. He was also able to sign all of his work now that he has a special brush for it. We also made some good progress on idea’s for displaying […]
Rob and his helper Martijn used his Rio Mobility Firefly power handbike today. They took a spin down our road and it went really well. It will take some time for him to get comfortable with it, and we have a few adjustments to make, but it’s going to be […]

There might be some controversy about this approach, but I think whatever works for them to get their appetite back and eating real food is worth a try. For my husband, it was a lot of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. I also made him ice cream, and if he […]
Hello, I’m glad to see that you are awake! This is your brain talking. I had to find some way to communicate with you. I feel like I barely survived WWIII and am still not quite all in one piece. That’s why I need you. I need you to take […]

It is 5 years ago that our roller coaster ride began… I think this is the first time that Rob’s “Being Alive” anniversary has not affected either him or I in a sad way. I asked him how he felt about it, and at first he did not realise it […]

Rob practised being able to sign his name on his paintings.
Rob had a real break-through with painting. We knew that Rob’s visual field of both eyes was affected by quadrantanopia, which affects a quarter of the field of vision. He has been using compensatory movements to make up for it, but it makes it difficult to paint. We think that the […]
I put one of those bark collars that emits a high frequency sound on Jane today. She has been barking like crazy every time someone goes by our house or another dog barks. I tried it last year, but it did not work. I’ve been told it works better when dogs […]

We have been clearing a few things that just no longer works with our lives now. Rob sold his beloved bike to our friends son. I had it specially made for him for his 40th birthday from Sweden. It is nice that it will go to someone we know who […]
