Week Five: Done!!

Well it was quite a week, but I learned a lot and made some good progress. I learned how to pick stuff up off the floor, which seems simple enough, but there's a technique involved. Coincidentally, today I dropped my hat in the gym and. Lo and behold, I was able to pick it up on my own. Another coincidence was yesterday, when I went for a CAT scan in the hospital. The technician asked how we were going to get me from the chair to the gurney, and I managed most of it myself, so I'm a step closer to getting the transfers down. Trial by fire, for sure, but it's the way to learn things quick! I'm ready for the day off tomorrow after a lot of work over the last few days.

I've also been catching up on e-mails and looking after the blog this week, as Debbie is in Canada right now. That's been keeping me busy, but it's great hearing from people and writing about my exploits here at the Casa. Next week should be interesting, I'll be practicing more transfers and will hopefully get them to the point that I can move myself with no help - that's my goal for the week.
