I hope they hurry and show up so I can start learning how to walk again but so far no one has shown up. I still got the lady from another service to help me with dressing so I need now the walking therapy!!

UPDATE!!!

 

MY THERAPY, both OT and PT is on schedule to begin tomorrow (Monday) by 11 am so I will see how long it will be before I can use my right knee to help me stand up and walk much better than I can now. This has certainly been a trip for me worrying about falling and home alone except for my little dog. If I do fall she would lay right there with me until the 911 people arrive to get me back on my feet.

 

With my left leg already paralyzed it is so hard trying to get that foot to make a step no matter how high I raise my foot up off the floor to make my left foot take a step.

 

Oh, I be so glad when I'm back to normal using my scooter, walking, driving my car again you just don't know!! Even using the toilet  have to wait until my wife come in to help me stand up when I'm finished using it. So she has to be home when I use the bathroom and for that reason I eat very little so I don't have to use the toilet. I got my urinal day and night but that is so restricted for upstairs and downstairs during the day when I'm here alone.

 

I got a lady that comes in from 9 to 11, 5 days a week to help me clean up, shave, and do small stuff I cant do myself so that really helps too. But when this is all over I will be a happy man and husband. This right knee just don't want to get any stronger as it was really tore up and had to be sewn back together after they fixed the tendons back together..

 

One day, one day, I'll be back together and can do for myself once again. It is so rough when you can't do things for yourself as you once used to do daily..

So here is hoping the therapy will bring me back to the real world God knows!!! It's been a hard time for me since that trip to Vegas trying to ride the shuttle busses instead of a taxicab.  Never, never will I ever do that again!!

 

You all take care I will be back on board in a few more weeks I'm hoping if therapy goes well!! I miss all of you and I know we got many new members in the last few months I been inactive!!!
