Granted; this is something that I am very used too being from the Midwest. Who does not enjoy doing a fall activity?
At times; it can be a little difficult for a survivor of a stroke, like myself to go apple or pear picking; pumpkin picking is easier because most of the time you need to use two hands to lift a pumpkin.
One aisle for the apple picking with hills in the background; breath taking. Who does not love San Diego? This is paradise; beach on one side and the mountains to the other! The sunshine speaks for itself too!
This is me with the left hand, affected hand wrapped, gripped or spasticity around an apple getting ready to take it off of it's tree branch. This is me living a dream; doing things by myself to ensure I do what my sisters were doing too; apple picking with both hands. Live Life and get involved with your community activities like this; it always brings a smile; a great way to be living in happiness!
This is a great photo with my left hand, the affected hand from the stroke and the difference and ability to not control my motor skills, like the un affected hand. The difference is significant in the ability for me to do something as opposed to not doing something. The best part about this; I have the determination to do what I think I cannot do. I have the determination to make things happen for me by myself or with the support of family and friends. This is that example, I am reaching in to grab an apple all by myself.
This is one of the reasons that I started the blog; to provide day-to-day living experiences that can be hard for a survivor and provide information that another survivor feels this too or has experienced it too! This is what is needed for survivors; tactics, examples and ways to ensure you participate in life the way you should!
