Journal entry by Bob Barth —
Hello everyone. This will be the last update on CaringBridge. I would like to thank everyone for following Kathy's ""progress"" on her"" ROAD to RECOVERY"".👏😊.
For this last update I have asked Kathy to write the last message.
To all who followed my journey on CaringBridge I thank you for your interest & your words of encouragement.
Bob would always share with me everyone's messages as a way of brightening my day and passing time during my 3 months of Hospital stay.
Since the very first post on October 11th we have had over 8300 site visits. Thank you. Thank you.
I have been home now for 11 weeks.""Be it ever so humble, theres no place like Home."" I have been getting in home therapy & a nurse visit once a week. My therapy will go to the end of March, & then I will continue with out-patient therapy here at our local Hospital.
I am getting around quite well, no walker or cane. I still have oxygen, but am able to go quite awhile without it as long as I am not real active. The goal is to be off O2 completely.
These past couple of weeks they have been working with me on climbing stairs. I started out doing 4 steps at a time ,and now I am able to go up & down the entire basement stairs. What a"" HUGE"" accomplishment for me . This past week I was able to take my first walk outside. I really loved that and am looking forward to more of them .
We have been so blessed to have such a great group of family & friends and the tremendous amount of prayers 🙏offered for us & my recovery.
Thank you for following all the Post that have been made regarding ""Kathy's JOURNEY on the ROAD to RECOVERY.""☺️
