At water therapy, Terry's having a hard time putting weight on his left foot. He learned how to balance without the prosthetic, so now it's hard to do it WITH the leg. It will come with time.
At land therapy Terry stood for a full FIVE minutes!!! His strength and endurance are improving! Also, the last time he stood today, he asked if the parallel bars could be lowered. Lames did that, and Terry did about 80% of the work to stand!!! With the right angle, he does very well!
We got a new lift chair/recliner for Terry this week (as an early Christmas gift!) It will give Terry someplace else to sit, and therefore a LOT more comfort. Jimmy made a platform for the chair so it will be almost the same height as the W/C (for transfers). I did some baking for Thanksgiving, just a couple of pies and macaroni and cheese. Then Terry and I had to make his "world-famous stuffing". We did all we could Wed. then finished early Thu.
We had our Thanksgiving dinner out at the track. Terry had SO much fun racing around with the kids on their riding toys! Everyone thought it was great to have all of the extra room! We also had a LOT to be thankful for this year!
Mom had the family for Thanksgiving on Sat., so we went there. She had a HOUSEFUL!!! We played cards and pool, chatted and laughed! I have several NUTTY relatives and I laughed more than I had in months. It was GREAT!!!
After such a full week, we had a restful day on Sun. It was nice to just relax.
