First Kathy decided to impress both Christine the PT and I with a 45-degrees knee bend sitting on the side of the bed. PT said on word: 'Wow.'
Then (yes Dr. Letson we put the leg brace first) she got up, with the help of a walker, PT with safety belt in hand, and walked four times the distance she traveled the day before.
That is between 2 blood transfusions, of course. Now she is quietly resting waiting for the pain med to alleviate the excitement of an extraneous activity extraordinarly done according to Christine.
A little of rest now before the next activity: wound drain removal. Getting closer to home, one slow step at a time.

Kathy, Diane and I are so happy to hear that the PT tech was amazed - so what is else is new. We expected no less from our over achiever!! You must rest and sleep, cause that is when you heal the fastest. We can't wait to be able to bring you Tom & Jerrys. A good combination with pain medications - going to be some very loud good time going on!! With hugs, Diane, Robin and Laci
ReplyDeleteYou are truly amazing, but I expect nothing less from you. Hope the pain is decreasing. Much love.
