Time to Hit the Gym

He's not ready for 24 Hour Fitness yet, but surprisingly Dr. Duke ordered for Dad to start Physical Therapy again starting yesterday. This therapy is different than where he left off a while back, but we know he'll get there again. He has lost much of his strength, so yesterday they practiced sitting up again. They are looking to possibly lengthen his drain tubing, in effort to give him a few more therapy options. The current drains limit on how far he can't move from the bed... and the range is pretty short. If they can figure a way to make the drains longer, then maybe he can work his way back up to walking to the window.

With the skin graft healing nicely, Dad is on a surgery hiatus! Visitors are welcome again.
