spontaneous physical therapy for stroke

I was at a bar(Shamrocks) tonight listening to a college friend play in a band Rythym Pups. They have a wonderful mural in there with ghosts hovering over patrons eating at the tables. A good friend, Sue brings various musical instruments for the audience to play. I grab the hollow wooden percussion frog and a drumstick. I pry my fingers open enough to get the frog into my left hand. This provides hours of spasticity relaxing therapy. When I beat on the frog with the drumstick , this sends vibrations trying to find their way back to my sensory cortex. Trying to get growth cones and axonal sprouting going. This is just a continuation of my 24 hour a day therapy. There is no time to waste , every minute of the day can and needs to be used for therapy.

The mural can barely be seen here. Some day I'll figure out the camera on my phone
