First Day of Pool Therapy


First day of pool therapy today - had to be there for 9 am! - first early morning in long time! Once there - took a bit to get ready - had to remove all gauze - rather gross, then rinse off - the exercises in the pool were pretty easy, but Matt said he sure felt that he'd been doing them later. Land went well - after we finally figured out who was doing it and where - got to 90ยบ still. The shower after pool therapy was annoying - they have a new system - made a therapy cubicle into a 4 head shower - but only one patient in a wheelchair can fit at a time! - then, there's no where to put anything down where it won't get wet -- we eventually moved into one of the old shower rooms to finish up and get dressed - we'll work out a system quick enough, but I'm beginning to think we'll probably do real showers in the house. Had dinner supplied by hospital tonite - had turkey, and all the fixin's! - nice surprise. After dinner we had Marlo and Lois over for a movie. We'll call it a nite now as we have pool therapy early til the end of the month. Ciao!
