Day three of Rehab

Well today is starting out well! I got to take a shower! Woot woot.

I have a full day of therapy and hopefully will get my eyebrows waxed today! LOL

Therapy was long today. I actually wussed out on the last session today. We have found that I can't handle 1 1/2 hours of therapy continuously. Hopefully tomorrow I will get a little more of a break.

Today I did some arm work, worked on balancing on an exercise ball because I need to gain core strength, worked on the stairs again, and made some toast! :)

I talked to some lady and their plan is the following: I have an expected release date of December 4th pending insurance and my progress. Upon release they would like me to be walking whether it is with a walker or cane. They want to make sure that I am able to care for myself in all ways. As for driving right now they aren't sure. They said I have lost a lot of some blah blah blah in my ankle and I'm not able to flex it correctly. If this were the case then they said hand controls on my vehicle could be an option. The have a simulator where I could learn how to use it here.

They also said they would like to go to Omaha for a home visit of my apartment. There they can check it out and decide if I can go there and live. My lease is up in December so I really need to start to find a new place to live but I do need a home to go to when this is all said and done.

I had a visitor tonight. Thanks Heather for the sushi. It is really much better than the "food" that is served here. I must admit the biscuit and gravy I had this morning was actually pretty decent. I should give them a little more credit! :)
