Day 60 - KAFOs and apartment move

10:10am - Not remotely ready for therapy, find out I didn’t remember the schedule correctly and I’m missing OT with Jessica.  Whoops!


11am - More practice with my KAFOs.  They felt a ton better after some adjustments they did.  Good workout.  


Noon - Business lunch


1pm - Talk with Dr. Sweet.  She wants me to continue talking with her as an outpatient, which I guess is not that normal.  I like talking with her so I took it as good news.


2pm - Shower and head down to a lecture Sara told me about on KAFOs.  She asked me to bring mine.  Once there I find out that everyone there is a therapist except for me and this other guy who was injured years ago.  He had his KAFOs on under his jeans and could walk sideways, up a ramp, etc., somewhat effortlessly.  Then, surprise, I was asked to walk in front of everyone as the inpatient example of KAFOs in use.  It went well and it was nice to answer questions of people in a clinical fashion because they all had positive reactions when they found out that my return is just from the past few weeks.  So that was encouraging.


4pm - Head to apartment, sign the lease, and start moving in.  Various friends started showing up from different directions, all with my stuff.  I didn’t realize how much I had been focusing on the accessibility of the place until today.  Everyone pointed out the amazing views and how we should definitely have parties.  So that’s cool!  Especially since it’s hard for me to get places now.  Definitely throwing parties there.  I’m really lucky that I had friends to help me move.



I’m not sure why my dad looks so tall. I do like how you can see the phone Stephen was propping his phone against to take the pic. 


Onwards and upwards.


G’night,


Chip
