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 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 […]

“Lingua canis dum lingit vulnus curat” “A dog’s tongue, licking a wound, heals it” Rob has been having skin problems with his affected hand. Because it is often contracted all day, it becomes moist and he gets skin irritations. It does not appear to be fungal, and there are no […]
I’ve been looking for something I can use for shelves in our window in the spring to grow seeds, and in the winter to grow herbs. I had a hard time finding something that would work and that was also not too difficult to install. I went into the shed […]

General links Bureau voor Medicinale Cannabis (OMC) is the Dutch government agency responsible for overseeing the production of cannabis for medicinal and scientific purposes. The OMC has a monopoly on supplying medicinal […]
I followed the directions provided, but it did not come as clean as I had hope: Stimulite® honeycomb can be hand laundered or machine washed in cold water, using a gentle cycle. If your Stimulite honeycomb product includes a cover, wash the honeycomb and cover separately. Use only a small […]
I’ve been looking for something that Rob can use to keep warm after he takes a shower and also that covers him up a bit while sitting. We have tried robes, but they are difficult to put on, and if you only put one arm through they don’t cover-up enough. […]
This is something I posted somewhere in response to why I get tired of religions (not any in particular), in relation to some of them being too prevalent and teaching against science. As someone who has never believed in religions nor struggled with not believing, my biggest gripe with religions […]
Together with colleagues, Hubert Dinse developed a stimulation glove for stroke patients; © RUB A team headed by Hubert Dinse and Martin Tegenthoff has successfully treated a number of patients with stroke-related impairments. The gold standard for acquiring new skills is: practise, practise, practise. Playing an instrument or reading braille […]
Medicinal herb garden I’ve been thinking I might start a “medicinal herb garden”. I really enjoy gardening, but don’t always make enough time for it, so maybe this is a good excuse to do something I enjoy that might also be useful. I also have a real itch to get […]
Where I live in the Netherlands, people love their fried food. Pommes frites (frieten, french fries, chips, etc.) and numerous sorts of encrusted mystery meats and fried sausages. I’m not so much a fried food person and never have been, so I have never really understood this concept. I remember […]
I know this is the same for all of us, but I sometimes feel like my lists are never ending… Every week I keep running lists of the stuff I need to do over the weekend – my weekend lists. This is apart from the whiteboard list that I have […]
This post is not about us, because thankfully we are blessed with good friends and family who really try to be part of our lives (see my other post People who belong in our lives). This request is about the many people who I chat with who are feeling isolated and […]
