We've had a couple of breakthroughs the last couple of days!

Yesterday at therapy Bill was able to do his 6 minute walk and "graduated" from physical therapy to cardiac rehab! He also walked everywhere we went instead of using a wheelchair. He was pretty tired by the time we got home but we were there from 8:30 until 2:30 and in 2 of the 3 buildings.

His leg is better and the doctors have admitted they don't know what is wrong with it. Dr. Hosenpud was pleased with the way he looked and the way he moved. He also said that his bloodwork had improved and took him off of 2 of his meds.

The bed here is bothering his back and he did wake up in a foul mood with a back-ache. But he managed to switch himself to batteries and get dress without any help this morning. I think it actually did it out of spite, but he proved that he could do it!

We didn't do much today. Took a very short walk but his drive line was hurting so we cut it short and did his dressing change to see what the problem was. The way Tina had wrapped the line yesterday was pulling against the stitch and movement was pulling it even more.

We went to McDonalds for supper and he managed to eat a cheeseburger and some fries. Ice cream is now topping off his evening while he's watching the baseball game.

We have another easy day tomorrow, only a pacemaker check. It's an early appointment, 8:30, and it should only take about an hour at the most. So we will have the rest of the day free. Going to take care of some business with the car and maybe go to the bank and buy some groceries. I think the goal of the week-end will be to walk some without the walker. He's starting to get dependent on it somewhat. But, maybe we'll let it go a little longer.

All for tonight, have a good evening!
