Today Bill got Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy....the first one works on the hands and arms. The second works on the trunk with balance and the legs. On the 12 of April it will be 31 days since Bill had his stoke. Since that time he has just been laying in the bed. He has a lot of muscle loss....his core stability is bad at this time....he is not holding his head up straight either.
Bill got moved today from the Acute Care floor into St. Terricia's Long Term Acute Care Hospital. It is still in East Jefferson Hospital. It is a special low level Rehab specialty hospital. The hope is in the near future he will be able to build up enough strength to do 3 hours a day of Rehab and move into that unit of East Jefferson.
Bill has a lot of hard work ahead but I know he strong. Today he asked Dean to check into a special plastic practice petal that he can work with at the hospital. Hows that for determination.
Remember drummer duet with their hands and feet.
He was tired after his therapy and the move into the new room. Tomorrow should be interesting. Also, for the first time ...he has a semi private room. Hummmmmmmm !
