Motivation Monday. 2.5yrs after Nathan's injury and severe stroke where doctors told him that he wouldn't get movement back in his hand, Nathan has regained some thumb extension. There's still a long way to go, but all the hard work, sweat and tears is finally paying off. Never give up as anything is possible.

Exercise. Trialling the Pro-X Walker (strapped in with @theactivehandsco) which provides Nathan with feedback and resistance when attempting arm swing.

Aussie Hero Quilts. We were both totally surprised by this amazing gift. Aussie Hero Quilts made this quilt, as appreciation for Nathan's service and also commemorating his 5 mountain walks during National Stroke Week following his own stroke in May 2017. We are both truly touched by everyone who volunteered their time and effort to make this lovely quilt. Since 2012 they have sent over 11000 quilts and over 22000 laundry bags to our deployed service personnel. A huge thank you from both of us!

Practice makes perfect. Working on his technique this morning with Kristen from Capital Nordic Walking.

Give it all you've got.

On alert. To the untrained eye this may look like a normal supermarket grocery run. But as a stroke carer I am always on alert and immediately notice the various obstacles on the floor. Nathan needs to unknowingly scan for and avoid these, whilst overcoming his visual and mobility deficits. This is our new normal.
