I’m working on keeping my boyfriend’s Mom company at the nursing home, and helping her heal. She had a stroke in October, and we can no longer support her living with us. However, my boyfriend’s mom has progressed from where she had been. Healing is slow, to a painstaking extent, but she is still progressing. It’s nice to see her progress, and I feel rewarded in an intrinsic way by it.
Practicing speaking with her is very rewarding for me. In the brain, Broca’s area controls finding the right words to speak. Hers was damaged by her stroke. However, she befriends everyone, so she gets a lot of practice healing this area of her brain.
