Captain? Status Report?

He's mobile.  He can walk without any kind of aids (walker, cane, human spotter etc.)

He can speak.  Sometimes, he can form a sentence. Sometimes, its a collection of words that the listener needs to string together with him to make them make any sense at all.    He has Verbal Aphasia / Apraxia.  These are apparently two different but similar things. (Feel free to look them up at your leisure). He has difficulty forming the words or sounds with the muscles, and the words he comes up with aren't always the words he means to say. 

He currently can not drive, play the sports he played prior to the stroke:  Golf, baseball, darts, hockey. These all require coordination he doesn't possess right now. 

He doesn't not read or write very well.  He is willing to allow someone else (me) to read an email he gets to him when there is a lot of words, however, it seems like he understands a short text most of the time.  We do know that he can read sentences - he does this with his speech therapy and OT homework.

Numbers are still complicated due to the Aphasia.

There is pain / numbness / a void on his right side in his hand, wrist, thigh, knee, ankle or foot that comes and goes. Most of the time, he just says it's uncomfortable.

We get up between 630 and 730am.  We go to bed around 11pm 7 days a week.

He has a regular appetite. His medications are only a self-injected blood thinner (5000 units), and an Aspirin 81 tablet every morning.  We expect the Thrombologist will take him off the blood thinners this week. 

He's generally in good spirits. It's boring to be stuck at home all day with basically nothing to do.  He has puzzles that friends have loaned us, but again..  that's one task.

He plays a couple games on his phone, one that he's always played is Sudoku and it's nice to see that he is back to playing it. I don't know if there is a history or how to look for it, but it would be interesting to see if we could look back a month and see what his time calculation on it was before the stroke and where it is now and how or if it has changed much since the stroke.
