Days til brace off: 42
Days til out of RIC and into apartment: 17-26
My sleep is much better, as is my general mood. This is thanks to moving rooms (I am now in room 714, bed 2) and my new roommate, Tony. We get along and we are both quiet at night which makes for much better sleep. The rest of my stay here should go great as far as that’s concerned.
9am - PT with Sara. She put me in the KAFO braces and into the walker for some sit and stand practice. Once I got better at balancing, I walked around the mat with the walker a couple times. It was about 10x better than last time since I knew how to balance better. Felt good. I think I have a video or two I’ll post.
10am - Group therapy for leg movement. They strapped me to some ropes and had me swinging my legs back and forth for a while.
11am - Hot Topics lecture on transportation in the city. I already knew most of it but learned a couple vital pieces. I can get half off CTA fares, for instance. If I made “low income” I could ride for free. Pretty cool.
2pm - Lokomat. Went fine and I can feel myself getting stronger. I might post a video my dad took.
3pm - Pool therapy. Swimming backwards, “kicking”, standing up in the corner, etc. The water felt good, as usual.
I’d love to get into some philosophy soon on one of these blogs. Any topics you guys would like me to expound on?
G’night,
Chip
