Afternoon Bree.
Thank you.
I'm having to get used to hearing the TV going downstairs again, haven't had that on in close to 4 months.
It's a bit harder then I thought it would be, moving her around & such. I had to buy a transfer aid, it braces her knees & pivots in place, helps with transfers from bed to chair, etc. Medicare didn't cover any of that....$385.
Amazon.com: Etac Turner Pro, Transfer Aid : Health & Household
She is glad to be back. The cat hasn't seen her in 4 months & at first was somewhat wary of her....I'm like WTF kitty, she's the one who adopted you.
Good day everyone.
Happy to hear your wife is home Borg. She will be happier and more comfortable at home.
Morning Ken.
Yeah, she is happy to be back, she wants to get upstairs to our bed but that's not going to happen for a while.
I talked with the people in SoCali about the HAL system, they would like to evaluate her & treat her with it if they can. The clinic is in the same town her brother lives in, so that's good. Getting her out there might be a challenge. I told the guy that we would consider this after the holidays as air travel is probably going to be a mess from next Turs on until after New Years.
Morning Borg.
Yes I imagine she misses her own bed. Something comforting about "Our" bed. Yes air travel will be crazy as America does the Holiday Season, everyone is from somewhere else.
You take care of yourself too.
Good Evening / Morning / Afternoon everyone
I wish you a nice and lazy Sunday.
Good after noon Borg and Wife
I'm glad to hear she is enjoying being home again I can totally understand she is a bit upset over not be able to sleep in her own bed... Stairs can be pure evil with only a sore knee, bad ankle or a bad back. So yeah i can see she having an even bigger challenge there.
It can also be a nice goal to have in mind for rehab training, to win over those evil stairs in the future... not next week.. but in 6/9/12months
I know she is a fighter and she will win over this.. It is like my signature.. some things only take a little bit longer to accomplish then we first thought.. The most important thing is to never-ever give up..
Stubbornness and willpower always wins in the far end.
Afternoon / evening all.
Days go by so quickly I can't even read back all you guys wrote. Hope everybody is doing fine. Weather was fine this weekend, so we did some work around the house.
