88th day of not being home
They switch beds on me. This bed is way to small and had a very uncovertable night. They say they are working on it but now I can't do by bed exercise and my bad leg is cramping because I can't straighten it out and I have to lay flat or I will slide down off the bed. Harder for me to breath when flat.
My brother Bob came to see me. He wheeled me around the place and we went out on the patio and spent about an hour talking, first time I've done that. When I got back to my bed I fit fine. Now everything is as good as can be expect. Think I will sleep much better tonight.
Bob came back brought my sister to see me on their way to dinner.

73rd day of not being home

Went to my Ortho Apointment yesterday after delaing one week. The trip by ambulance was very enjoyable. I get to get outside and feel the sun and breath the fresh air it was great.
The Docs removed the staples from my hip and closes the drainage wound and said it was healing well. They took a lot of X-rays. My right hand may have some lasting damage, it's hard for me to make a fist and my wrist is always in a lot of pain. It may be fixable with surgery later after my arm has healed. Docs OK me to start trying to get me to start using a wheelchair. Most of my PT time now will to get me into a wheelchair. I will see Docs again in six weeks.
