Day 34: Stairs, Fast Walking and Cheeseburgers - Monday, April 16, 2012

Scott was so looking forward to today and getting back to "full contact" therapy.  Here is his first attack at Physical Therapy.




Afterward Scott attacked Occupational Therapy and asked to be able to move around (like go to the bathroom) without assistance.  "Not quite yet but very soon" was the therapist's response.  I'm sure that Scott will push again this afternoon.  That would be "very soon", of course.

Next Scott had an hour of Occupational Therapy and he worked through memory problems that I struggled to perform.  During the session he appealed to have all eating restrictions removed.  They tested him by ordering a cheeseburger, fries and chocolate milkshake for his 1:00pm session.  Of course he passed by wolfing it all down, even after eating a full lunch an hour earlier!  Now only a cursory check with the dietitian keeps him from eating anything he wants.

Scott is truly getting back in so many ways.  Much is rapidly changing including his caregiver needs and our ability to report his progress through this blog.  Bear with us as the articles going forward may become more disjointed, not reflecting a blow-by-blow account.  Please continue to know our deepest appreciation for your part in Scott's recovery.

Joy!
