Friday. WE had OT at 8AM used e-stem. I took pictures so that I will know where to place the electrodes. I took pictures of using the massager. THe arm is really not coming back very quickly. It is downright slow!!!!but, we will persevere.

He had Kathy for PT. He was in the lit gait and walked on the treadmill for 45 min. He was exhauted. But, he was able to do it.

I was going to the YMCA after therapy. I was just going to use the shower. BUt, I noticed that the pool was empty so...we changed and went into walk the pool. We stayed about 15 min. because the hinges and twinges folks were starting to come in the pool. This is a huge group of older members who do moderate movements in the water. When William is able to walk by himself...I will have him join that group.

I was amazed that WIlliam was willing to get into the water and walk. HE had forgotten that I said that we would only shower today. His stamina is getting better. Of course, he has collapsed and is sleeping now.

He came home and had cantalope, figs, peaches, nuts and cherry limeade for lunch. He is eating healthier.

I have left lists for the caregivers. I will be leaving for work at 3:30PM. Today. I have started on decreasing the caregivers by 2 hours. 1 hour when I leave and I hour before I come home. We will see how this works out.
