I forgot a few things yesterday, so decided to write again tonight. I am scheduled for therapy the thursday and friday after I get out at NMC. I then will be put on a schedule of three days a week for therapy over there, possibly getting to ride with grandpa two of those days. It will be nice to have his company, so I hope it works out that way. On the other three/four days I have a upper and lower body workout that my physical therapist, Sara, has set up for me. I'll probably join a local gym, as she suggested. Today they had me unload a bunch of boards and buckets from the back of a truck box, and also do the action of putting gas in a car. It was pretty fun to incorperate real life stuff into therapy. I also got my picture taken with Sara as they are doing a story on me for the little madonna newspaper thing that the old folks read. Tomorrow is my last therapy day here, and is going to be a "max out" day. We want to see what all we have accomplished, so they will be measuring all of my motion and comparing it to both what I started at and what motion I still need to acheive. We will also be timing some walking type things, as I couldn't really walk when I entered Madonna. Well, I better go race the old guys roaming the halls and swipe some ice cream on the way by. Thanks again to everyone who has helped out or written to me. I really enjoy reading the messages, it feels like I'm at home already when reading them. --Brad
