Today I added a new title to my resume! In addition to becoming a nurse, CNA, PT/OT/Speech Therapist, I am now a personal trainer! Bill was on the treadmill today and his leg cramped. As he got it stopped I got him off and over to a weight bench to sit. After a couple of minutes I had him stand and stretch it out before he got back on the treadmill. His leg has been doing that and the girls in rehab are aware of it. No one is sure if it's due to more activity or the stroke and he sees a Physical Therapist again Monday. Maybe she can figure it out.

He did well in rehab yesterday and worked for 1 1/2 hours instead of just an hour. I was talking to our friends from Gulf Breeze and didn't realize how long it had been until he came out! We all went to lunch and then John and Cindi had to go back to Mayo for an appointment. It was really good to see them again. They want us to stop there for the night on our way home. It will add about 2 hours to our 2nd day since we go a little out of our way. Of course, nothing says we can't take 3 days to come home instead of 2. But, that is still a little way off.

We didn't do much after going to the fitness center. It was a gorgeous day, cool and breezy so sat on the patio most of the afternoon. We even ate dinner out there tonight.

His next biopsy has already been scheduled for October 15. Hopefully everything will stay stable with the meds and we'll stay on track to come home. He's scheduled for rehab through December 3, but if we get cut loose before then, rehab will end.

All for tonight. I'm going to watch some more of the Cubs/Rockies game before turning in. I don't like when they play on the west coast, especially since we are on the east coast. The games start way too late for me!
