Learning to care for himself

When I got to the hospital they were transferring him to the recliner and then it was time for PT/OT. He did great range of motion exercises with both shoulders, hands and elbows. Did some strengthening on his right side. Then she showed him how to bathe (most of anyway) himself. He said what he really wants is a shower. She explained that they are building his stamina so he can stand being up for that long. He's still really weak but everyday is better.

Today I stopped at Subway and got him his favorite BMT & Meatball sandwich. Don't know if he's totally up for it but figured why not.

His spirits are good and his conversation is better everyday.

Talked to Steve and Dad and they stopped in Rawlings, WY last night. Steve called this morning and they were having every kind of weather, none of it good and guess what? The truck won't start! So, now they are in the middle of no where and the only mobile auto repair is closed till Monday. Kind of comical after a while.

Well, I'll keep you posted on how today is going. But it is definitely going in the right direction.... YIPPIE!

Love & Hugs to all!
