Friday, August 10th – Day +81
Hi Everyone,
I can’t believe that I am already typing Day +81. Wow, only a 19 more days until the Day+100. That is when patients are usually off many of the heavy duty drugs and such. Not sure in Mike’s case since I haven’t talked to a doc of his in quite a while. Hard to see them when you don’t visit until after 4pm. Most round in the mornings.
I talked to Mike late last night because I wasn’t at home. Sorry no blog yesterday. Anyway, he said that he had a tough day in rehab and had to go back to his room during the middle of the day and he slept for 2 hours. I asked if he went back to rehab after his nap and he said yes. I was glad that he did and didn’t just bag it for the day. It’s hard to do rehab and it is a very tough schedule.Â
Mike is walking a little and using the exercise bike. He also does other machines and exercises. He still is a 2 person assist when he wants to get up and the staff needs to do that – not family members. Hopefully he’ll keep working because I know to him it seems like the progress is slow but it is working!
Like I said the other night in the blog, Mike looks good. He still has his round “steroid” face but his legs and arms are slimmed down. Just keep the prayers, cards and support up because that will help him to stay motivated!!
Oh, mom had a big day at therapy yesterday but did well. She doesn’t go every day.
love, Ann
