20220422 : the ceiling
I feel I have hit a ceiling with my rehab. I have not yet plateaued on the general overall improvements. That will go on with it's snail's pace for some time more. I feel I have hit the ceiling with general strength in the body. I have been at strengthening the left hand and leg for atleast 1.5 years now. After the initial development of strength, I feel it has stopped sometime back. It is still slowly improving wrt flexibility, etc. But strength has stopped a while back - no matter what and how much I exercise it. When I had the stroke - just prior ie, it was very common for me to attend a function (like a wedding) and have a very big meal - I mean a seriously big meal, polish off everything on the plate (the plantain leaf most often) and then have 2 full glasses of water. A glass is usually 250 ~ 300ml. That is my meal now 200 ~ 300ml! Sure, I have protein shake, oatmilk, rice, vegetables etc. But it is 300ml. The label on the box says it is enough and more protein for me. Ho
