In 24 hours I am busting out! I can’t wait.

 

I had no idea when I was wheeled onto an ambulance back on Good Friday that it would  be nearly 5 weeks  before I went home. But it’s almost here.

 

FYI, my rehab is ongoing. I will start outpatient therapy on Friday, mostly for balance.

 

There is some more good news. I’m not only going home tomorrow – a few days ahead of schedule –  but I am  being sent home without any aids.  The  initial plan was that I’d return in a wheel chair. Then they said I’d have a walker. Now they are saying I’m going home without anything – not even a cane. I’m a bit surprised. My Berg Balance score is now a 40 (up from 17 week one and 30 week two) but my walking is not normal – I look a lot like Boris Karloff.

 

My prayer requests remain:  1) for the ability to read easily again (I can read, but it gives me a headache); 2) for a sense of  balance; 3) that I would be a good steward of this event

 

Press On,

 

Mike
