Today David:
1. Got his soft cast off (will continue to wear it at night).
2. Spent some time in the living room laying on the couch watching TV.
3. Had the dressing removed.
4. Had his first real shower in 1 1/2 weeks.
The incision is healing nicely. We were dreading the shower experience, but it was not all that bad. We were able to lay him down (since the chair reclines flat) and roll him into the nice big shower we have (thank you PHPSE and others!) and he was fairly comfortable.
Transitioning from bed to chair back to bed is the most difficult for him. He has been fairly comfortable laying in bed but we're trying to work more and more away from that. Each time is a little challenging, but I have a feeling we've turned a corner today and will look for more ways to get him out of his room and those four walls and into other positions.

Hey David, it was great to see you today!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are such a tough guy because I know it has not been easy. I am pretty sure I would be a great big wimp if I had to go through everything you have - hats off to you!
Still thinking about you. Baby steps man, that's all you need to do. I'll keep checking for updates. Be good,
