Today, my husband walked 60 feet with a walker, 4 times. He was pretty tired the first time, but after that, he seemed reasonably ok. A lot of his weight is resting on the walker still, but the physical therapists seem really pleased with his progress.
Tomorrow, he’s going to try a few stairs. Sounds like a serious fall risk to me, but I’m sure he’ll manage. Heck, he may even come home Friday or Saturday.
My husband’s nurse is the wife of one of my former coworkers. She’s super nice, as are all the nurses on the orthopedic floor.
Yesterday, my husband kept apologizing for wasting my vacation. I don’t call this a waste at all. I know he would do the same for me. I sit with him all day long, except for when I have to get our daughter from school. It’s not a big deal to me, although today I did successfully campaign for soap operas. Hey, I gave him my laptop to watch movies on.
It was a fair trade. 🙂
I bought this wonderful chair at Nebraska Furniture Mart yesterday, and picked it up today. I bought it specifically for rehab purposes at home. It’s got arms the right height and some cushion that the dining room chair we WERE going to use, didn’t have. Love the chair’s style. We normally go for the modern stuff, or the “this is what we have on hand” stuff, but this is a beautiful chair.
When stressed, one must shop. I think that is one of those rules of life, or something. 🙂
