RIC day 34 - Mother's Day

Late post for Mother’s Day, as I was busy celebrating it fairly late with my mother and friends, obviously.

I had lokomat and pool therapy.  Then my dad and I finished up a cake that Rebecca and I baked yesterday in the cooking therapy session.  I didn’t mention it in the blog before to keep the surprise alive.  After some fun experiments with transferring into and out of my parent’s Subaru SUV, we had a nice dinner at Athena in greek town.  The transfer out included kind of hopping over a gap between the car and the curb, where my wheelchair sat.  It about gave my mom a heart attack.  Lesson learned: curbs are only helpful if you are right on them.  

After dinner we headed back to my parents’ hotel room for the surprise cake and some bourbon.  Don’t tell the doctor.  Rebecca and I tried giving my mom a half day at a spa which she promptly refused.  I’m seeing if I can force her into it.  She deserves it.

That’s it.

G’night
