I could go meet them, but then my wife would have to come along. I think it&#8217;s something I can do on my own, but my parents come to watch, or my wife has to record my condition and stay by my side. I believe I can manage by myself, but I realize that&#8217;s not the reality. Even lifting a coffee cup isn&#8217;t easy; I could spill it if I&#8217;m not careful. It&#8217;s strange. I can&#8217;t believe even such a simple action doesn&#8217;t work properly. It&#8217;s absurd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">When people visit to say hello, when friends express their relief, and especially when they offer money, I&#8217;m truly grateful. On the other hand, I also think, &#8220;Why should I receive this money?&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m not dead, so why are they giving me money?&#8221; I&#8217;m thankful, but I strongly wish I could return it. However, my wife told me to accept it with an open heart, considering the great pain I&#8217;ve endured and the feelings of our family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It&#8217;s good to see that people are consistently reaching out, even if just a little. The warm hearts of those who haven&#8217;t forgotten me and come to visit are a great comfort. They are becoming the driving force that allows me to endure this difficult time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Simple, Repetitive Word Practice \u2013 Speech Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming Swimming<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb Hair comb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bank Bank Bank Bank Bank Bank Bank Bank Bank Bank<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel Wheel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus Cactus<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot Carrot<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank Piggy bank<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet Magnet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Camel Camel Camel Camel Camel Camel Camel Camel Camel Camel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blender Blender Blender Blender Blender Blender Blender Blender Blender Blender<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi Taxi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yogurt Yogurt Yogurt Yogurt Yogurt Yogurt Yogurt Yogurt Yogurt Yogurt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strawberry Strawberry Strawberry Strawberry Strawberry Strawberry Strawberry Strawberry Strawberry Strawberry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cat Cat Cat Cat Cat Cat Cat Cat Cat Cat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Motorcycle Motorcycle Motorcycle Motorcycle Motorcycle Motorcycle Motorcycle Motorcycle Motorcycle Motorcycle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pot Pot Pot Pot Pot Pot Pot Pot Pot Pot<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sickle Sickle Sickle Sickle Sickle Sickle Sickle Sickle Sickle Sickle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flower Flower Flower Flower Flower Flower Flower Flower Flower Flower<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alligator Alligator Alligator Alligator Alligator Alligator Alligator Alligator Alligator Alligator<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dumpling Dumpling Dumpling Dumpling Dumpling Dumpling Dumpling Dumpling Dumpling Dumpling<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I&#8217;m home, people often contact me.
