Kat has involved with a couple of things that are very interesting. Every week she goes to pool therapy (on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). Before climbing in the pool, she goes into the gym and works her leg either on the eliptic (sp?) walker or the stationary bike for about 15 min. It’s amazing to see the speed in her walking pace now!
On Tuesday (May 27th) she returned to HealthSouth as an outpatient. She worked with OT Janell, whom she had while a resident so they knew each other well. Janell gave Kat her pre-evaluation for driving. The results are coming. Janell said she’d like to work more with Kathy, so it seems we may be going down to Concord a few times for this purpose. Janell wants to help Kat prepare to use Saebo (a device that will help her hand react to open and closing and thus retraining her brain to make it work).
It was abit of a reunion. Beside Janell, Kat hugged and visited her 2 PT’s … Maggie and Derek. Maggie showed us her new office (as she had been promoted) and there she had pics of her new baby boy, David — what a cutie! Derek visited with us as we were leaving the lunch area. He really pushed Kat hard while a resident and he saw the fruits of his labor yesterday! It was a great time.
ANNOUNCEMENT
mike.blog has been having difficulties trying to post pictures etc. — so there will be one more post here with a new link to another blog. We will not close this one so many can revisit the trip so far. The new link will have a new name as well so watch in the next few days as we post that link. The journey goes on and very soon at a new address link … come back soon!
