A difficult and busy day for Donna. After not sleeping well, Donna continued to have some medication issues that kept her tired through the day. Despite the fatigue and frustration, Donna had some great therapy sessions.
In PT she got her cast off and proceeded (with help) to stand on her good but slow right leg. I was amazed and so was she, when she got up there she stood tall and smiled big. After doing it a second time she didn't want to sit down she was so proud. After 3 she was exhausted but satisfied. She needs to stand on only one leg because the other leg (left) is still not weight bearing from her surgery. The plan was 8 weeks for no weight. She had an appointment Monday that I was looking forward to for a possible early release. That appointment just slid to at least next Friday, patience needed again.
Donna also struggled through a tough but beneficial therapy session that stretched out her tight shoulder substantially. The splint for her hand has already begun to do wonders.
Her schedule gets more full and now borderlines crazy. Between her frustration and fatigue make it all a challenge, the blessing is that she continues to get better every day even if small.
Well I wasn't there last night but Donna apparently talked her roommates ear off. We came back from a session after lunch today and she was gone, moved to another room. Clearly the lady didn't get a dose of the magnetic personality we know Donna has but then again, maybe Donna had other motives. We'll never know.
