Day 16 of Rehab

Good evening everyone. So I'm getting antsy to come home to see if I can do this and even more today I felt it. This morning I did some stairs and walking with Cali. Then in OT we talked about how I can do laundry at home from a wheelchair level. We are starting to cover some things that seem elementary to me and I have the problem solving skills to figure them out so I'm starting to get a little frustrated.

This afternoon I went with a group to play pool and shuffleboard. I only got to do the pool because of the time and it wasn't bad. I had to play from a wheelchair level and didn't do too bad.

I didn't get to do my last PT because my dumb ass said something to the doctor about icing my ankle because it was swollen. Now I have to get an ultrasound on my leg and I can't do PT until that's done. If they are going to do that then I might as well go home. I don't want to sit around another day and not do anything.

I'm going to call Baxter Ford tomorrow and my dad is going to see if Ford in NP has a van that I can afford the payment on if I trade in my car. If so, voc rehab would pay for the conversion. They really want me to have a van so I can use the wheels that would help me move better. They weigh about 40 lbs a piece and there isn't any way I can take apart my wheelchair and get those wheels into my car.

So some things are coming together and some need to still be worked out. But every day I'm feeling a little bit better about coming home but am still really apprehensive about being able to do it when it's all said and done. I'm going to need more than luck with this whole deal. :)
