Day 8

Well its bee a week in rehab but only 5 days real work as wekends the PT person isn't here.I really do feel well. Daryl showed up for our date about 8AM and after the leg work which I now ace we set off down the hall and back. I went the full length which is quite a way. Daryl asked how I was feeling and I said I was feeling real good. He asked when my Dr's appt. was and I said I thought it was Tuesday and he said maybe we could arrange to go home right after it. So today we will work on stairs,riding a bike and getting dressed.. I told him I still feel tired leg wise but it does seem to get better daily. Don't think I will be running or walking any marathons in the near future or ever LOL. But by May at least I hope I will be healed enough to walk the woods again if the snakes aren't up by then. I am supposing Dr Gulish will give me some pain meds for home so i can keep going.  I have now started taking them with a sleeping pill to sleep since I didn't get any sleep for a straight 7 days except for a dose.  At least when I can get up on my own and walk a bit maybe I can get the spasms to stop and not need the sleeping aid but will ask for help till I can.

I have the determination to do this so Home soon.

the excitement for the night...just before Jim left I looked uop to find an elderly man in nightgown standing at the door bleeding. Really bleeding so Jim got the nurse and they helped him back to be.  Alzheimer patient who keeps tearing out his IV. This AM they found him in the hall trying to get in some w omens room for the bathroom. This I do not need noit sure if he is my new moaner screamer or not but likely.

So this afternoon it's ride the bike and climb stairs. Om on the way!
