OT - How much do we appreciate the little things in life

[Guest guest]

Well, Had home health PT visit today to " teach " me to walk up the

stairs and other various exercises. It is really amazing the things

that we miss when we do not have them. Like a real honest to goodness

HOT shower. Friday the 12th had been my last and bed baths all week in

the hospital and sequestered to the down stairs powder room and pull

out couch once I got home. Stairs are actually a piece o cake, as long

as there is a final goal and a place to rest the weary tuckus at both

ends. So, have a list of exercises and must get off my arse at least

every 2 hours and walk. Am working pretty well with just a cane as the

walker made me look like an old fart (pardon me for that one Bob)

I know, I know, everyone will tell me not to push it too hard and I

will not. I know my limitations. My right knee still does not want to

bend routinely when walking, but PT told me to try to concentrate on it.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers while I was layed up and zorked

on 4mg of dilaudid every 2 hours. You guys are my rock and help keep

me going.
