All the things I can do

-
Soon I will be going up to Indy to see what mybrainis doing to.see my  weakness and streaths. I really hate the word weakness. Rather,I like the wordChallanges That is  how Ive used it for kids who are not able   
tocope. 

I woke up this morning with a whole list of things I CAN do. At tithis timeI am  am advising phd candidewho wantsto  know the hows and of my work over longemail threads. That should be good for something! 

I canwalk downtown with out getting lost, I can talkand walk at the same time! I make dinner,I get the I do all thelaundry. I make the food shopping list I crochest thehyperbolic plane. How about that!  I also can type and get my words out with not too much hassle. I guess gI'm doing as well as I can so that is a win for me. The other thing is that Ican remember peoples names better than ever which was not the thecase in my old brain. Go figure! I am cognnsent about my plite but that is a awhole other story!

    I find your work on movement and dance amazingly innovative! I am glad you introduced those ideas to me and I hope this PHD candidate learns a lot from you.

    I like the idea of making a list of things you can do. Probably, everyone should do this!

So, last week myspeach interns andI had some diffiulty around  tthe sematic web we use to help me find words for myself.  I need to use it so I can find the words Iwant to use since my kind of Afasia is word finding. Generally, any time I'm getting frustrated not just this context but  when I get lost in the words,litterally, I will take  step back and try and find theBIG ideas and concepts I'mworking on.Ideas.Then Ifound This! In stead of getting frustrated   found this!    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4600091/ What is Semantic Network?

We did  LOT today in an hour of afasia therapy today. This was my second therapy session with my team--yestterday and last week kbothties It seems that   that is what will help me over the long term. I am working hard to develop stratigies to keep my words fresh meaning knowing how communicate better than I might be now and later when I really need it. There is also a varient  of afsia that focuses on the kind of afsia I have. Only 30%has my variant of afsia! Also I would love for folks to comment on the blog wth their best loved word!   You can tell me why or just send it through in the comments! Thank you! Thank you! xxo  I can't wait to know your favorite word/s Also , no word finding in this post! Have a great weekend! xxo

New Ideas for for my brain!

-
My days right now are  to get my brain in the best it can be. Today I walked, but not alot of talking since my husband was working at home today. HOWEVER... I am starting a few new therapy-like activiteis to keep my brain interested (like a little puppy..hahah! ) I am starting a course of my own to be be better about understanding what people say to me.  I n this case, I am learning how to be good at following  directions.  I can use 0rrigami (which has  lot of instrutions) .I bought some really beautiful origami paper  So I can flex my understanding while learning to to follow dirctions.    This will will likely be a big challenge for me since i'ts something I usally don''t   don't do!  I'd love to ad photos to this blog.but  will try to to make it work some how! I also have a game which was made for kids but I think it will help me with the    math, espspecically factors! That should be fun! No word finding in this blog. See you round the bend! xxoo, Malke
