Same Stuff Different Day

The day living  in the hospital has become pretty predictable. I have OT twice a day, we work on anything from  fine motor skills to strengthening my very weak legs. It's strange to look at my legs and actually see the muscles that have atrophied over the weeks lying in ICU.

I have PT once a day. We typically work on walking; my longest distance so far was 180 ft. - that's with a walker, a wheelchair behind me and plenty of help. They don't take safety lightly here.

I still have pain in my left leg - several times a day it flares up into an agonizing pain: It feels like my leg is on fire. That's the shingles - I hope it's a sign that it is healing.

Looking a lot better than I did 3 weeks ago.

Onward and upward.
