Day two of Rehab


Hello everyone!


Today was my first full day of rehab and let me tell you.... I'm tired. :) I had a total of three hours of therapy; 90 minutes of OT and 90 minutes of PT.

I did quite a bit so hopefully I am functioning in the morning. I am still mostly in a chair so we worked on transfering different ways onto another surface while in the chair. I was in the kitchen area with the walker to make sure that I could balance when going through the cupboards. I practiced walking up stairs a little bit. That was pretty difficult. I need a lot more strength in my right leg. I worked on transferring into a car and out into the wheelchair.

I walked about 250 feet today with the walker which seems to be pretty good to me anyways, considering I haven't really been walking for a week. I also did some work on a machine that they said I can use on Saturday when we don't have any therapy scheduled.

Hopefully tomorrow I will get a plan of action and a proposed release date. My insurance has approved 12 days here so hopefully I will be done by then.

Catch up with you all tomorrow!!

p.s. I had to share my slipper socks that Julia brought to me this morning! They are quite adorable and fit my personality perfectly. Even after years she still remembers me!
