8 Days Post Stroke
Right after my vitals were checked at 4:50am ,
I went in the bathroom,
shut the door,
put on-my running clothes,
and did some wall push-ups .
I proceeded from the bathroom.
Sat on the edge of my bed.
Grabbed an old carton of orange
juice.
Sipped on it...
waiting till I sensed the
'changing of the guards.'
Just as I began walking down
the hall three 'whitecoats'-were
coming towards me.
Dr . Nuerostein in the middle with
a Resident on each side.
My right fist and and arm were
a bit improved, however,
I still looked like
a classic cripple.
"Dr. Nuerostein, would it be ok if I
go run the Pittsburgh Half Marathon?
I'll be right back!"
He didn't laugh. He just smiled and
said, " Give it 3 months."
