Yesterday DH and I escaped the rehab center for 5 1/2 hours. First was a mad dash to the neurologist. The results of that appointment were amazing. The intake nurse was amazed in the change in DH. She could not stop commenting on it. The Dr. was a little less enthused and felt that the change was the result of the CPAP. (After the appointment DH told me that he hadn't used the CPAP for over a week.)
Next was down one floor in the Medical Arts Building to the orthopaedic surgeon. He was pleasantly surprised with the advances DH has made in physical therapy and encouraged DH to continue with his home exercises to increase muscle strength in his left arm and shoulder. He told DH that he would have a little more strength in the shoulder but that was all. DH really heard him for the first time and was not happy with the truth.
Next was a quick stop to pick up some cold drinks and drive to the polling precinct. There was no line, but earlier in the day there had been. We both voted and then went to Bob Evans for supper. After a leasurly supper we went back to the rehab center and watched the election results.
DH was tired, but alert toward the end of the evening. What a beautiful day.
The doctor's and nurses at the rehab center are telling DH that he will definitely be coming home this Friday. I have all my duckies in order to pick him up and bring him home. This will be a major celebration.
Praise and worship for Him who made this possible and thanks for all the prayers.
