He Did It!

Fred walked down and back up our 16 steps today!

Twice!

We had a visit from the physical therapist today who encouraged him to walk down the stairs under her supervision. She then took his pulse while he stood at the bottom and then he started back up again and she took his pulse when he got to the top.

She is a very positive older woman and very good at listening. Fred liked her a lot and he is willing to do the exercises she showed him four times a day. She filled out her paperwork and left, and then after she had gone, he did the stairs, down and then up all over again!

Wheee!

Until later…

A Brand New Chapter

Hee! This entry reminds me of the movie Something’s Gotta Give. If you have not seen it, there is a funny part where the doctor tells Jack’s character he’d be ready for sex again when he could climb a flight of stairs (easily? I think but not sure). So, reading this made me giggle. TeeHee! Glad he’s doing so well.. And you too for that matter! ~ Carrie

Hoorah!
