My recovery continues it
seems positive increments are infinitesimal what needs to be done
under the duration of time is allowed for professional intervention.
I was told last week that my 12 weeks of outpatient physical therapy
has just about concluded I was amazed at first thought the outpatient
Hartman had made a mistake and sure enough for three visits a week 12
units at a very quick. My therapist is going to try to find some
foundation or something which assists low-income folks needed
therapy. I do not hold much hope that she will be successful but even
if she can find a few Sessions, these would be better than nothing.
I believe I am making strides but as I already indicated these are
small Gains and leaves the big picture wanting. This last week we are
I did better transferring from chair mat and back again this is
really difficult but I am doing it. I almost think with the electric
bed might be able to transfer into bed and out. I do this I might be
able to at least one visit from the home health aide today. Trouble
is shall I fall I am in big trouble. Because it seems I am pretty
much on my own.
These are scary times for
me as I ponder been this disabled and living on my own. I am thankful
for the progress I have made an seem to be making for physical
therapy or rehabilitation. I still don't know how you do it alone
however I know there are a lot of folks out there in worse straits
then I Who seem to be making it okay. I must admit I have been
spoiled find it hard doing things entirely on my own. But if this is
what the fates bring that I must accept, shoulder the load and carry
on. I wish there was another way, but at this point I don't see
another way out. My poor wife is over Burdened and needs out to save
herself. As I said I have so grown to depend on her thoroughness and
ways she looks after me and she can. I truly feel my life will be
significantly shortened When she leaves.
I think the gains I've
made this last week at PT. I already to start transferring to bed
and maybe in the morning by myself. I may have to really look into
using my manual chair because it's tthe only wayTo make these
transfers independently. It shall be risky but I think these are the
next steps which must be taken.
