Days til brace off: 50
Day till moving out of RIC: 27
I barely slept last night. Yesterday I got a new roommate that, God help him, has a respirator. It’s pretty noisy and on top of that I believe he is sick, which requires people to come in a suction out the phlegm every few hours. I’m hoping earplugs work tonight. Please pray for him, though. I believe his name is Mark.
10-11am - Leg group. Now that I have moment I am part of this group that does leg exercises to strengthen our leg muscles. They hang our legs from the ceiling while we lay on our backs or sides and work each muscle individually. It’s exhausting but feels great to do after weeks of no leg movement.
11am-noon - Lokomat. I was tired but it went alright.
Noon-2pm - Look for apartments and work.
2-3pm - PT outside. Even though I’d already done it a bunch of times, I had a requirement to go 4 city blocks in my wheelchair. So we took the long route to Starbucks. I got a Chai Latte which was great except for the fact that it’s impossible (as far as I know) to push the wheelchair and also drink it. So it was cold by the time I got back to drink it. Rebecca joined for that workout and trip outside which was nice.
3-4pm - Look for apartments and work.
4-7pm - Business meeting at Northwestern.
7-9pm - Order Papa John’s and watch a show with Rebecca.
That’s it. Nothing fancy. Just hoping to get some good sleep tonight.
Dear Lord, thank You for the progress You’ve given me so far. Thank You for this life. Thank You for showing me how to live it. Dear Lord please guide me on how best to serve You and do Your will. Thank you for the movement in my legs. Thank you for filling me with inspiration and giving me a new perspective on life. Thank you for showing me what’s truly important in this world. Please don’t let me ever forget or take things for granted again. Please let the Holy Spirit flourish within all of us. Let Your will be done. Take away all selfishness, deceit, and negativity. In Jesus’ name… Amen.
G’night,
Chip
