Day 77 - May 1, 2007 Tuesday

Today is the new therapists are starting. Lynn got there early to get Terry ready to help to meet the new therapists. First one came in around 9 am to introduce himself and see how they transfer Terry. After that they went down to the therapy room. Terry had therapy on his arms for about 50 minutes. After that they had lunch and relaxed before his second session of therapy. One of the new therapist wanted to start doing Hoyer lift transfers instead of sliding board transfers. The whole idea upset Lynn - for 6 weeks Terry has been doing the SB transfers. Now they want to change it for "Terry's safety". They have been doing the SB transfers so Terry could participate as much as possible. They decided to do a SB transfer to show the therapist how safe it is. Once he saw how it was done, he was okay with it. He continued his evaluation of Terry. After that Terry got to take another shower (his second since the accident). Lynn got a different wheelchair to use this time. She did it all herself this time to start preparing for when they get him home. It was better than the first time and he felt good once they were done. Then they went outside for a short time. The man bringing the van is suppose to be there around 5:30 pm. He got there about 5:45 pm. They took the van out for a test drive. They went to the track to see Michael (son). They stopped at Subway on the way back to HH to get some dinner.
