I went to physical therapy on Wednesday to practice some things with Scott. It was the first time I had seem him walk after surgery. He takes baby steps, with the quad cane but does really well. I think he just needs to strengthen the left side. His transfer from the wheelchair to bed or couch was good. They are sending him home on Saturday with a wheelchair ,quad cane and strict instructions not to be out of the wheelchair if I am not there.
I learned how to help Scott safely up from the chair, transfer into the car etc. Physical therapy will come to the house three days a week to work with Scott. Both Scott and myself are nervous for him to be home, me more so then him but, I do think it will be good for his spirit.
My heart goes out to the families of the patients at Sea Pines , I know I could have been in the same position they are. I am so thankful I am not. From the beginning I have looked at all the blessings Scott and I have been given through such a dark time in our lives.
Later, I will post what happened that sent everything into this tail spin.
