Today was another roller coaster ride. Yesterday we were told Bill would be moving today. Upon arrival at East Jefferson the nurse said the doctor was not ready for Bill to be moved as he is trying him on a muscle relaxer to help him get better muscle tone. So now it's looking like Friday....stay tuned for roller coaster thrills.

But by midday the day was greatly improved. Physical therapy went very well ! Bill is getting much stronger. He is now able to push his wheel chair up and down the hall of the Rehab unit using just his right leg. Go Bill ! He was in a great mood and full of fun again today.

Tonight it got kicked up another notch in room 905.

Bill got a surprise visit from Benny Grunch...! He had a private autograph session for Bill to give out gifts to his nurses and therapist tomorrow. Bill's friend Frank (another patient got his surprise tonight and was very surprised to meet Benny. Thanks Benny for making it a very special surprise for Bill and the crew in East Jefferson Rehab Unit.

I also had a very special visit from my old friend Mary Edwards. Years ago we had three couples that each had an older daughter and a younger son. We had great times together...when we went out to dinner we would sit the three boys at one table. The three girls at another table. Then the six adults got to sit together. It worked for everybody. Thanks for being there tonight Mary it was good to see you.
