Okay this next entry is a little embarrassing for me to admit this but I wanted to let people know that this is quite normal to have after surviving a stroke.
I usually wear a pad daily and nightly, since having the stroke l tend to leak a little urine. This is one of my ongoing problems. It is sometimes annoying but l can live with it.
I follow a routine at night. Whenever l get up, l will go to the washroom even if l don't feel like l need to. This has helped me alot.
I usually do not have much of a problem during the day.
I almost forgot to say that if you too have this problem, their is an exercise called kegels. Here is a helpful website;

Yesterday l was backing out of the drive way in my car, wouldn't you know l got stuck in the backlane due to the city deciding to plow the backlanes. leaving clumps of snow at the end of my drive way.  I have rheumatoid arthritis and pulmonary hypertension and so i pay a guy to shovel but he couldn't do it right away since he is working during the day.

I had no choice but try to get over those clumps. I had to pick up my pills and pick up my niece from school.

Thankfully 4 neighbours  came to my aide and helped get me unstuck. I was then able to go about my errands. 

I really can not wait until the snow melts and the ice will go away too. I use my cane to prevent myself from slipping and falling.

Happy New Year to everyone !!!!

I'm so happy right now because for the past 10 months l have been saving my money to buy a replacement for my old battered laptop. The screen got cracked by accident and thankfully it still worked but it had red stuff all over the screen. which made typing a blog very difficult. Now it is so much easier.
One of the feature that l like about the laptop, the key board lights up, so now i can see the letters better.

This is now the time of year that l feel that it drags on and on. Where l live it is the middle of winter. There is at least another 4 months more of coldness and snow. 
It is funny thou, when l was smaller l could not get enough of winter but now that l'm older i don't care for it.
