Where did the summer go? Hard to believe we're moving into fall, and Tommy is moving into the home stretch. This weekend, my visits to Tommy will have to be at odd hours, because the route to and from Ren rehab is along the dreaded "beach route," which means hours-long traffic back-ups if you time it wrong. Today, Tommy got a new roommate, Mike, who is a really nice fellow. In therapy, Tommy walked the hall and also spent 15 minutes on his favorite exercise machine--I don't know what it's called, but he sits in it and pushes his feet forward and backward while he pushes and pulls forward and backward with his arms as well. Actually, it's a lot like my elliptical exerciser. Tommy says that he would love to get this machine for home, so I'm going to search around.
Starting on Tuesday, work on the bathroom shower will be finished. Once that's done, a therapist from Ren rehab will make a home visit. Originally, Tim was scheduled to do it but, alas, he told us this week that he has decided to leave Ren rehab (his last day is next Wednesday) and will try his hand at real estate. He has helped Tommy so much. What a loss for the physical therapy profession.
NOTE: I have noticed that the last two or three of my posts have been delayed by hours and even for a day or two--it seems that the blog site has been undergoing "construction" issues and apparently that's the reason. I'm hoping we'll be back on track soon.
