Assessment was a bit disturbing to me. Physical therapy reported Bill at 25% Bill and 75% assist. So I was right in my assessment of his progress. That was about the only meat from the short meeting. Everyone was very supportive and says he is cooperating and is getting better.
Good news for the day. Bill did get his wheelchair....many revisions and I think this time it may work. It is Candy Apple Red and Black just as Bill ordered. He said it is very comfortable. So now I am going to make it my business to keep him out of the bed and in that chair for as long as I can every day. I think it builds his strength just being out of the bed. However he was so uncomfortable that he would squirm until his butt was over the edge of the chair and heading for the floor in each of the 3 other chairs we tried. I couldn't push him to stay in an unsafe chair that caused him pain. So now I'm going to see what he can do !
Harry came by to visit today at lunch and brought Bill some drum catalogs which he really enjoyed. Bonnie, Mike and Ryan came by this afternoon to visit....Bill enjoyed the Canoli and I enjoyed my eclair. Thanks !
