Day 3. More baby steps...walking down one hall but still haven't turned the corner yet (literally). Marcia was totally disconnected today from all machines, tubes, wires, lights, alarms, pain pumps....so she is UNTETHERED from anything that can impede her path! She worked really hard today doing her exercises, standing, marching, getting up and down, walking, and definitely starting to build up more strength and endurance after such a big surgery. She is ready to transfer to the Rehab wing tomorrow where they will focus on increased movement and strength, plus work specifically on the day-to-day tasks required for her homecoming (date TBD). She's really a trooper and spends time every hour on something, despite the soreness and pain. It is very befitting that tomorrow is Thanksgiving - we are thankful that she is on the road to recovery, and also for you - her family and friends - for all the love and support throughout this process. Happy Thanksgiving.

Great progress. Reminds me of the Little Engine That Could. Guess the cuisine in both places is the same. We'll have to wait til homecoming for the gourmet meals!
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to prep and cook tonight. Cleaned a bit and am excited to be hostessing Turkey Day.
Hope yours is lovely and, as you, I'm thankful for the wonderful recovery.
Well a different sort of Thanksgiving for you this year and so much to be thankful for. Your progress sounds wonderful. Keep it up and let me know if you need anything at all. You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Marcia. We'll be thinking of you tomorrow at Connie's and continue your great recovery. Maybe they'll throw in some dance steps too in rebab.

Wow - you are doing so great - you are so disciplined and dedicated. You will be back to "normal" very soon. Of course, you know that Erma Bombeck says "Normal is just a setting on the dryer" - LOL!!! Thank you DONNA for being there - and thank Taum & Corwin too. We are praying continuously for no pain and perfect results. Michael & Gina will be here tomorrow after lunch and Rich & Trish will come over for awhile so the kids can play and the brothers can connect. D-Day is Saturday for the family time. Really looking forward to it - we don't do it enough. All our Love,
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm just catching up! I couldn't log in from my home computer!?!? Plus my comment from yesterday is not there so maybe it's not working from my work email, either!?!
