Another good first..

I am now able to get from a high wheel chair to a walker without help. Another good first today. We also worked on stepping up and down. I miss everyone . Life is too short enjoy everyday even the bad ones because you can always find some good.

310 feet

Got back to pt today went 310 feet which is from one side of the hospital to the other. Getting closer to home day by day. Still some medical stuff to deal with and will be for a while but I can do a lot of it at home or going to outpatient stuff. The thoughts and prayers are working.

Buttercup!

Best day ever got to go outside and see buttercup. Walked 130 feet. And my pick line(big ass iv) is being taken out. I am feeling healthier and my markers are doing good ( inflammation markers). Hope to be home by May 10. Turkeys be ware. Thanks for all the visitors and treats. Still want rostasas pizza and pitz Meghan. Love u all see u all soon. Thanks for helping get through these tough times.

 

Still working on the legs...

Weekend was a little rough, a little dehydrated made me feel like crap. Real good now. Still working on the legs. Making it the length of the parallel bars now with just help making sure I lock my knees. Standing without help will hopefully come soon. Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel might be able to go home early may. Keep ur fingers crossed. Thanks for all the visitors snacks calls prays and thoughts. If u need my number here u can message me and I'll send it. I'll be back on my feet soon enough.

Missing my puppies :(

Buttercup stopped to smell the buttercups!

A lot of good news today.

A lot of good news today. All of my bad numbers are lowering. Still not where they need to be but getting there. The X-ray was good. Catscan was good no blood clots and clean strong lungs not perfect but a huge change from no lungs and a machine and a collapsed lung. Spinal tap returned with no problems in the brain which was a concern with my headaches and soreness. So it's just working out every day. Thanks I love reading the comments and the visitors it really helps me get better faster. Miss you all love you all and awaiting my homemade spaghetti ( Ty Lois). And my fresh philly pretzels (ty steve jason erik) and my piece of chiken steak (ty ruth and marty) thanks everyone for all the MUCH NEEDED support. You guys all had a huge part of me surviving and healing.

Another spinal tap-

Got a spinal tap some time this morning just to be safe, of headaches lately. Then an emg where the put needles in ur muscles and check for major nerve damage. My left arm and leg, mostly foot are still numbinsh and weak and the foot can't move up. Good sign I was able to move it the tiniest bit in pt yesterday but only once. I am looking forward to my homemade spaghetti meatball and sausage and homemade garlic bread dinner. That will brighten a day of tests mixed with hard workouts up. Love you all. Enjoy every day and don't take advantage of the little things you may miss them one day. Thanks for all the support.

7th chemo treatment..

 Finished the 7th chemo treatment.

 Feeling ok, not great but pt went well

 still pushing myself. Looking foreword

 to seeing everyone out of this place

Really hoping for 2 weeks or 2 and a 

half. Wish you all the best. Thanks for 

all the prayers. 

One more chemo?

Did 5 sit to stand today. Still need the help getting up but 

standing good on my own. One more chemotherapy

treatment tomorrow hopefully done with them. 

Miss everyone. Hopefully home in a couple weeks.

Sit to Stand

We practiced sit to stand today from

 a high table. Was able to do it 3 times

 then the knees buckled. 

Some good progress every day.

 Hopefully waking next week. 

Still need a lot a muscle in these legs.

 Wish you all the best.

 Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.

Outside!

Outside with the wife. Feels great to just watch everything.

Standing and Walking

   Stood for 30 minutes today and walked 25 feet using the machine that lifts you and helps balance you. Hopefully walking by next week with walkers. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.

Walked 10 feet

Took some steps today on the lifting machine. Walked 10 feet. Now I need to get my butt and hams stronger to stand on my own. Still very weak arms and get tired real quick. Getting out of bed into a wheelchair is still exhausting. Feeling a little stronger each day.

I scream-you scream- we all scream for ice cream!

   Ice cream. Up in pt now on regular food and regular liquid, stood up with a machine a few times today. Getting a little stronger.

Moving on up!

Hanging with my cousin today. Moved to the upstairs today! The real work starts tomorrow.     Go get em Eric! 

Parallel Bars

Should be moving to a new room concentrated on helping with physical therapy. Took a few steps on parallel bars today with assistance and can move the legs and arms a little more.

Feeding tube no more!

My feeding tube was taken out and now 

I can almost eat regular food. 

Just trying to walk every day.

 Getting a little stronger 

Hi Guys!

Hi Guys! I'm getting better slowly!
