Day seven of Rehab

Good Evening everyone!

I'm rather tired this evening but didn't want to get into trouble with the parentals so here I go.

Today Cali and I worked with the "brace" to help with my foot drop. It seems to be making a difference and now my left leg seems to be getting tired quicker than my right! I also did leg exercises on the mat at the end of the day and with all the walking I did I didn't think I was going to make it through it but did! Cali has given the nurses permission to walk me with the walker to and from my room to the dining area we use which is probably about 30-40 feet. Although that's not far after PT all day I was a little tired just walking that.

In OT I did a lot of standing. I stood in front of some machines used to exercise the arms and had to do that at the same time. I did that four times for three minutes each time. I'm hoping I can increase my standing time this week to more than just three minutes at one time.

Tomorrow is my big field trip with a couple of the PT's to check out wheelchair basketball!! It's so nice of them to take me somewhere after working hours.

Next Tuesday I'm going to go to my apartment to assess my living situation and hopefully check out a new apartment that I will be living in soon.
