Friday

Ok Brace Yourselves!! Look at him!! This was taken in the PT room at Cape Regency this morning. He walked around the room with his walker and got some soda out of the frig. He now has to practice getting his shoes on and off without being able to bend over. He has to wear that brace when he is sitting or standing. He has two long tools he works with and he is determined to do it. The other news I have is that Larry is being discharged on Tuesday. He is so excited. I have orders to bring his camera and he wants to take some pictures on 6A on the way home. It is going to be a busy weekend getting everything ready. Love to All, Pamela

Wednesday

Hey Everyone
Larry is having a great week. He is adjusting well to Cape Regency. Our friend "Annie" is still there so he likes that. They also got him a TV for his room. I brought him a portable CD player the other day and he keeps asking for more music, so I know he likes that. Physical therapy this week has been introducing the walker. Larry has made it down the hallway a couple of times now and says it takes a while, but he gets there! They say if he keeps on going the way he is he could try going down the hall on his own, maybe next week. He is already looking forward to not having a wheelchair around all the time.
I am sorry I don't have a picture again. I did take 2 pictures the day I brought him the CD player but they came out awful, he looked too old. I will try again. We have a meeting there on Friday morning, maybe I can get one of him and his walker!!
Take care All
Love Pamela
