Monday May 11,2009

Hello,

Friday, we got in a short physio session and a walk as the other two therapies were cancelled.
The weekend was quiet one, one of the nurses on shift both days took Chris out for a walk as the weather here was pretty good all weekend.

Monday I got back at lunch, OT had him out this morning early and he had just finished lunch so he was at Physio, but as usual different people never pass on the info on splints and bracing so they were trying to get Chris up on the Tilt table but his frustration level was incredible.

When I got here he was in pain. After adjusting his braces and giving another show me seminar he did calm down and was able to have a productive session.
We hustled to the pool right after because Physio started late and ate away 45 minutes of our pool time that pisses me off , Oh well what can you do!!!!!

The sad part is he still responds more to the pool and it is the toughest to get into. We did get to spend a little better than an hour in the water, gonna have to see if we can just sneak down when it is quiet and go in unannounced.
Even a half hour of laying straight out in the water doing light stretches is better than having to be in the chair. Another day tomorrow so we will look forward to it and do the best we can maybe get some cycling time in.
See ya tomorrow right here.
Kevin

Kevin,

This is so awesome to be able to check in on what Chris is up to!!!! Thank you for taking the time to write it must be rough after a long day but it is huge to see!!! I bet you did sneak down and get some extra time in the pool. Keep up the great work, you are so amazing! Jonny Vyse

Hang in Kevin....Chris must have been so glad to see you when he was having so much pain. Those splints are an issue for sure, and they take practice in getting them on correctly. That will be an ongoing challenge if it isnt always the same people applying them.
I hope you can sneak in the pool time.....who would care if it wasn't being used at the time?
Thinking of Chris and all of you always and sending our positive thoughts and energies.
Thanks for the update!
K, J and Family
