a busy few days

Merry Christmas All
Larry is doing really well. He is working very hard at getting his strength back It is hard to expess how proud we are of him. He works so hard and he never complains.
His major battle now is getting his system back into working order. I don't want Larry to shoot me for going into too many details here!!(i hope he can enjoy this site someday) Let's just say that the drs now need to address his spinal injury. On Thursday they sent him into Hyannis for a MRI. On Friday he had his sceduled appt with the surgeon who did his hip surgery. That went well and they scheduled his second hip surgery for January 5. He was on his way back to Cape Cod and RHCI got the results from the MRI and decided he needed to see a specialist at Boston Medical, so they call Cape Cod Hospital and they call the ambulance and poor Larry gets sent back to Boston. He finally got back to Sandwich around 8pm last evening.
He was tired today but told us all about his adventure to Boston. He was very glad they didn't keep him in the "city". I will be talking with his case manager tomorrow and will find out more about his vist with the specialist.
Larry can receive some visitors now. They ask that you not make mealtime your visiting time and to be aware he could be in therapy. The best time to visit is late afternoon and early evening. Just ask at the front desk and they can direct you to his room. Which is room 254.
He enjoys the cards and emails that he gets. It is starting to amaze him how many people care about him. I have said it before, he is a blessed man. Thank you all
Love Pamela

weekend update

Hi Everyone
Larry had a good weekend. He can wear his own clothes now, so that definately makes a difference in his attitude. It is a chore getting in and out of them, but he doesn't seem to mind. The nurses park his hat on the blood pressure guage when Larry is in bed, but otherwise he wears his hat all the time. Of course!!
He has an appointment on Friday up in Boston with the Dr that did his surgery. Hopefully then we can find out more about the second surgery.
Both pictures I have today are of him in bed, but he was really up and about a lot more than in bed. We were just so busy talking or eating dinner with him that I forgot I had the camera with me. I wanted to get of picture of him with my two boys on sunday night. He said he hadn't seen them together in awhile. But maybe next time. He is getting quite of collection of emails. He keeps them in a folder by his bed and shows them off when we visit.
This second picture I love because it's that smile!!
