Colleen called a little while ago to say that she took eight steps in her physical therapy session this morning. She may be home in as little as a week!

She was using a walker, and had a spotter on either side and one behind her keeping the wheelchair where she could sit down when she had to, but still it's a huge step in her recovery. Next week they're going to have me come in so she can practice getting in and out of the car.

I'll be getting my Cat back!!

 

A little background, for those coming late to my friends list. Colleen (AKA [livejournal.com profile] flower_cat) is my wife. She's had arthritis since she was a teenager; over the last few years it got bad enough to seriously impact her mobility. A little over a year ago we experimented with using a wheelchair for getting through airports; we bought a nice Nova transport chair a few months ago. We'll be getting a scooter soon, too.

Careful readers may notice that one of the tags on this entry is colleen-200903, in spite of the fact that it's April already. I change the dated tag for major events; the transition from "02" to "03" happened when she moved from the hospital to the nursing home.

A particularly good day. I spent all of the morning and some of the afternoon at work; I'd called a meeting at 10am that took up the rest of the morning, but went very well, and made some very helpful changes in a couple of protocols we're working on.

Colleen made major progress (and even greater strides today, but I've already posted about that). Yay!!

The evening was filled with good food, good company, good conversation, and good music. I love my friends.
