Sometimes, all it takes is an act kindness and a simple little squeeze ball

This little ball, a simple little squeeze ball changed my attitude, and provided me hope when I was completely frustrated and down in the dumps about my stroke. I couldn’t feel my left hand or move my arm or leg at all. One of my nurses, Amy, on the last night I was in the hospital, gave me this ball and told me to hold onto it and squeeze. As soon as she put it in my hand, I squeezed it and it gave me hope. I could feel something on the left side of my body for the first time in four days. A simple little squeeze ball. I will keep the ball forever.
