Bill got a hair cut early this morning. He looks great and he must feel great too. Every time he has been taken out of the bed or the wheel chair he has been said to be....max assist. Max assist means basically that people are 100% lifting him without his help. Today twice he had moderate assist....meaning Bill's legs are bearing at least some of his body weight and that he is active in the move. That is BIG news. If he can get the legs working I can bring him home.

Today a friend of mine that is a nurse on his unit...introduced me to a man named John. John had a stroke in September. He was a patient in the REHAB unit through October then moved to Colonial Oaks to continue his rehab. Today he was visiting with the use of only a walker with wheels. I later introduced the man to Bill....by the way John even had the same therapist that Bill had now.

Bill seems to be very well today. Not tired. Stronger somehow.

Donald Boue came by to visit with Bill they grew up in the Channel together. So I'm sure Bill enjoyed the company.
