For those who haven't experienced it, "rehab" is not a very evocative word. It may call up images of walkers and canes and basket weaving--a lot of easy- does-it. For stroke survivors, it means a huge, basic, frustrating curriculum. The course on Eating, for example is marked by such sub-courses as Picking Up a Spoon; Putting the Food in Your Mouth Instead of Your Eye; Chewing; and Swallowing. The advanced course in Walking involves under grad classes in Picking Up the Left Foot; Putting the Left Foot Down; Picking Up the Right Foot..... The course on dressing includes such basics as Putting the Left Hand Into a Sleeve and the more advanced Tying Your Shoes.

I love your course descriptions, and it's so true! I've had a couple of those advanced classes myself! Frustrating but eventually paid off.

Thank you, but they're not mine, they're from the article I linked to. :) I can't even imagine having to re-learn what seems like such natural actions and how frustrating it must be. Thank God you've recovered.
