Three Years After The Semi-Truck Accident – Physical Therapy and Stroke Victims

I am physically disabled but not dead, I continue to attend Physical Therapy two days a week and massage therapy, one and half hours one day a week. Select GOD Created A Miracle for me for more details.  Spring and summer bring me a bit of relief as I walk better and feel better when it is warm outside the three large screws in my pelvis do not like to get cold or feel the damp. Additionally I am happy to give up my full-time long johns and snow pants I wear from October to April living in the great Pacific Northwest, Washington.

My current Physical Therapist works mostly with stroke victims as he has advanced certification in neurological rehabilitation.  He has over twelve years of experience in treating adults with musculoskeletal and neurological disorders and well he is outstanding in understanding the functions of the human body coordinating together to walk, I call him my gait specialist.

Attending Physical therapy is never easy it is painful, challenging and feels like I am going forward and doing great and then one little thing can set me back for three months or longer.  I will never give up as I dream of riding my horse and Mammoth donkey one day, being able to go fishing, 5th wheeling, traveling, snow shoeing, walking on the ocean looking for treasures fly my kite on a warm sunny day with the ocean behind me, hiking, ride my bike, walk in the mall without pain and get more than the essentials in the clothing department and so much more.  So much has changed in my life and yet I know GOD has a plan and I am in the palm of his hand.

While attending Physical Therapy I see so many stroke victims 

This has prompted me to share what the warning signs of a stroke are.  If you can get a stroke victim to the doctor in three hours the chances are much greater to help the stroke victim recover much quicker and in some cases reverse it.

Learn the many warning signs of a stroke. Act FAST and CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY at any sign of a stroke.

Use FAST to remember the warning signs:

	FACE: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
	ARMS:Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
	SPEECH:Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?
	TIME:If you observe any of these signs, call 9-1-1 immediately.

NOTE THE TIME WHEN ANY SYMPTOMS FIRST APPEAR. If given within three hours of the first symptom, there is an FDA-approved clot-buster medication that may reduce long-term disability for the most common type of stroke. There are also two other types of stroke treatment available that might help reduce the effects of stroke. Read more about stroke treatment.

Learn as many stroke symptoms as possible so you can recognize stroke as FAST as possible. Click here to download the FAST Wallet Card to keep a reminder of stroke warning signs with you wherever you go!

Stroke symptoms include:

• SUDDEN numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg – especially on one side of the body.
• SUDDEN confusion, trouble speaking or understanding.
• SUDDEN trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
• SUDDEN trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
• SUDDEN severe headache with no known cause.

Now doctors say a  bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S  *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T  *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE  (Coherently) (I.e. It is sunny out today.)

R  *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

Call 9-1-1 immediately if you have any of these symptoms

Advocates Need Help to Stop Donkey Roping

Reblogged from Straight from the Horse's Heart:

• 

Source: by Rhonda and Laura Stock from Donkeys Deserve Dignity

Donkey roping is a cruel and completely unnecessary “sport.”

It has come to our attention via the poster shown that a donkey roping event is scheduled for May 25 and 26 in Welch, OK. We stopped ropings in Eden, TX and Van Horne, TX last year. Please send letters and call to get this one stopped too!

We stopped this before we can do it again! Please re-blog and start taking action to say NO TO DONKEY ROPING. GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged! Melody

•  Gentlemen,
  
  Subj: Donkey Roping Event to be held on May 25th and 26th, 2013.
  
  I study equine behavioral science extensively under the Parelli home study program. I have personally owned a Mammoth donkey and mini donkey along with my horse for six years now, I would like to share with you how sensitive and smart the donkey is. I am the voice for the donkey as they have no voice.
  
  Are you aware that donkeys are indeed smart, sensitive and a lovey equine?

  
  Are you aware the donkey never forgets anything and is very intelligent? Donkeys that are not abused are more like a black lab than a horse, they love their butt rubbed, hugs, kisses and kind words. Placing donkeys in this abusive and traumatic environment is abuse there is no other word for this than abuse this is not entertainment, this is abuse.
  
  Please consider the cry of these magnificent and highly social and intelligent donkeys to not abuse them for money. Donkeys are much different from the horse in the respect that when under deep stress they freeze and do not move. Cows will run out the shoot but donkeys freeze thus the need to use the cow shocker on them. These traumatized donkeys can have fatal consequences for a few minutes of Cowboy fun and the greed of money if they survive they will more than likely have permanent Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD) and not be able to fit into the human social world ever again.

  
  I am respectfully asking that you stop this event and do not use donkeys for this event.

  
  Respectfully,

  
  Melody Johnson

Deep Blue Crescent Lake Oh How I Have Missed You

“As a young girl I can remember going camping with my family to Sol Duc Hot Springs in the Olympic National Park as soon as we started circling around Crescent Lake I would get excited as the road feels like you are almost in the lake as you circle around it and the bonus we were close to the hot springs.  Soon it would be time to swim in the pool, eat camping food, ride my bike and get in the hot pools to warm up and do it all over again, oh the life of a kid.”

Here are a few of our photos from last weekend when Western Washington State was in the 70′s and 80′s a wonderful surprise from GOD.

Select Crescent Lake Lodge nestled in the Olympic National Park.  I pray one day you can experience this magnificent sweet place in the Olympic National Park of Washington State.

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Perhaps The Life Lesson Is Not For Me

Maybe I Am The Lamb?

Seems to me that so many times things happen out of my control, lessons that well I just do not think I need a lesson in as well I have learned this lesson.  I  find myself thinking,  GOD what are you trying to teach me?  Lately I feel as if GOD is not trying to teach me the lesson he is using me to teach others.

What do you think about life lessons?

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Build your own Cold Frame - the super-easy way

Reblogged from The Soulsby Farm:

• 
• 
• 

Want to start your growing season early? Maybe extend in into the winter months? Then build a cold frame or sometimes called a mini greenhouse. A cold frame is 4 walls that secure heat and protect plants from the elements and a top that allows light through.

Step 1) Find a good location that gets lots of sunlight and faces south.
