More small improvements


Linda had a bit of a breakthrough with her speech therapist yesterday. They were discussing how to get better "B" sounds. Feeling the muscles involved in getting the correct percussiveness is very subtle, but Linda had very good success yesterday. She describes it as "getting the trick." She can do it very well when she concentrates (and isn't too tired).

Now she just has to do it enough to make it habit so her "B" sounds good even when she isn't concentrating on it.

She took a shower standing up today for the first time. One more little increment towards normalcy.
