Can you keep saying that for a minute without messing up? That was just one exercise Mom had to do today. Herrick had her doing lots of physical, occupational, and speech therapy. The OT therapist had her on the computer today. It was slow going she said, but she did manage to get onto the blog and read some of the posts and entries herself. The good wishes really keep her spirits up. The speech therapist gave Mom homework and I made her practice her tongue twisters as I painted her toes.

Here are just a few:
Friendly Frank flips fine flapjacks.
Twelve Twins twirled twelve twigs --- we both had trouble with this one
Six Slippery Snails slid slowly seaward -- I think this one was on an episode of the Brady Bunch.

The doctors are trying a new medication for her dizziness. The patches are not working. The dizziness continues to get in her way and makes it challenging to do everything. This morning, Gaylen and I were trying to imagine what it must be like to be dizzy ALL the time and we decided it is no wonder mom is so tired and only wants to be laying down.
