Onward and Upward into a Chair


Onward and Upward into a Chair
Reports from Tash's bedside:The morning was spent in deep slumber - well-deserved - and gathering energy to mend the wounded places and heal the tiredness. She was even too tired to have Fred sit by her bedside - plum tuckered out she is. The physiotherapy team arrived, and Tashie had more energy today. She sat in the chair for more than an hour, and in general, was able to move a little more easily than yesterday. Dan gave her a pep talk about pushing herself to meet the milestones that will land her in rehab . . . as opposed to not meeting those milestones and going to a nursing facility :( The milestones to be met in order to go to rehab: she has to be able to work at least 3 hours a day at physio. That's a good motivator to work hard! Bruce is with her tonight and tomorrow, and he'll cheer her on when she lags.
