Hello,
Tuesday was a rather quiet day, Chris has a bit of a cold or stuffy nose keeping him a little more subdued than usual. Still got to some Ot /Physio today but most was passive and quiet. Tomorrow will be a busier day with the bike and a full day ahead.
Just let me add in here, that as and when I refer to time spent at home and not getting any treatment that amounted to anything, I refer to our system and lack of foresight and general common sense thinking when it comes to rehab. ( the system sucks) I did not want to paint all of the nurses and aides that gave so much of their time caring for Chris with the same brush I use to refer to the disdain for the outdated facilities and the inept, archaic way of running medical rehab system.
You all know who you are and how much we appreciated your contributions to Chris' healing and providing piece of mind for us when we could not be there for him.
Just wanted all to know the human factor in all of this is what keeps us going. Credit should be placed where due, so thank you all again for your caring touch and thoughts they have changed me in an unexplainable way and has really made me a more compassionate and understanding individual.
It has also made me a stronger and take no crap person when caring for Chris' well being.
Had to add this today, it may mean something to a few of you and nothing to the rest but I feel much better having said it. It has also pushed me to help more people than just Chris and will continue to do so.
Back to matters at hand Chris will be able to use the pool for a two hour window with me on Mondays and we will have the pool to ourselves hard to believe but persistence pays off.
We also have open authority to use the exercise room when not in use and to use the equipment, so no more down time with nothing to do.
It is so true, some days you move forward with strides and some days you stand still. It is important not to judge by the day nor by the week or month but to just keep moving forward and taking in all the little wonders that happen keeping in mind how quickly they can be taken from us.
Kevin
