Done yesterday (20090408)

( to.done 20090408 )

Most of the morning was burned up by meeting Colleen at Kaiser, waiting for her to get out of yet another CAT scan, and paying for her wheelchair transport. The good news is that in the afternoon in her PT session she stood up six times, twice for slightly over a minute. This makes me very happy.

The major insight of the afternoon was that it's not surprising I've been getting anxiety attacks on Wednesdays -- I'm an introvert. Colleen isn't. I've started tightening up when I pick up A because she's an extrovert, and a non-stop talker. Now that I understand the problem, I can handle it exactly the way I have been handling it, by retreating to the office or some other room for most of the evening, and dealing with a limited number of people at a time.

This also explains why I don't like to sing on Wednesdays, unless there are people there who really want to listen and pay attention. I can noodle, because that's something I can retreat to.

Went out to Jasmine with pocketnaomi (we would have had cflute as well, but she was exhausted after going shopping with A and having to hit 4 different stores in order to get everything). A nice, relaxing evening; we brought back take-out for cflute and Colleen.

Colleen: current standing

The good news from Colleen today is that she had two PT sessions, morning and afternoon. In the morning she stood up six simes: twice for 2 minutes, and the remaining four times for a minuted. In the afternoon the score was 1 and 3 respectively.

Tomorrow they'll work on taking steps.
