Great Day of Therapy!

Dad had his first day of Physical Therapy at the Wellness Center Rehab facility on the WVUH-East campus today. It went great. I saw them help him stand to his feet up at the parallel bars and work on his balance of standing there. Having been out of this kind of therapy for a month, he was a bit shaky but he enjoyed every minute of being on his feet again. He asked me afterward when is his next appointment cause he really likes working out like this. He was a bit nervous going there - unsure of what these therapists would be like or what they would work with him on. . . but now the mystery is solved and he feels relieved and excited about the future of working out there among people he knows. Again, we saw all kinds of folks we know and grew up with - one of his old friends was there having therapy too. It's really a great place for him to be. I feel good about use being there. We went back and had lunch together at their house. Now he is looking forward to the picnic tomorrow at Uncle Tommy & Aunt Becky Sowers house. . . hopefully he will have a good day and be able to stay in his chair a long time and enjoy his family. Then Saturday we are taking him to a baseball game at the Little League field and then Sunday we'll be off to church - so we have 3 full days ahead of us and then therapy again on Monday! Looking forward to a great weekend - happy 4th of July to you all! (P.S. Mom & Dad will be celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary Saturday, July 12th - if you get a chance, send them a card this week!)
