Today was a lot better than yesterday.  We have both started taking Melatonin which is helping us both sleep.  I ended up being at work a little longer than I planned.  With drive time included, I was away from the house 6 hours today.  We exchanged emails and texts throughout the day.  He was complaining of his stomach hurting.  Not sure if he has is coming down with something, or just a nervous tummy.

When I got home, he was in much better spirits.  He had spent his morning reading.  If he can get the print large enough, he can read just about anything.  He may not understand or comprehend all of it, but he does love to read.  One of the books that was installed on his IPAD when he got it is called "1001 ways to be romantic".  He has this idea that he must be romantic.  He is up to about 100 or so that he has read. 

Which takes me to this video:




Can you believe how well he is talking?  His thought processes are coming along.  We are now just 5 1/2 weeks post stroke.  I remember here thinking that it would never happen.  Then, it has.

I have no idea what new romantic surprise Marty is working on, but he will sometimes say he is super tired.  I will ask why and he says it's a surprise.  I ask what it is.  He just says a surprise.  I guess we will all be surprised.
