Journal entry by Roberta Cutbill —
Sidney settled in WS’s rehab in palatial private room having wonderful care.
I’m so grateful for the care, that rehab folks come to him & facility is just 2 min from our home for me to be w/him.
Had thorough eval from head of PT today. Sidney will likely stay til midweek having PT indoors & outdoors on various surfaces & levels to become adjusted to drop foot due to the 99% removal of leg muscle that lifts & lowers the foot.
He is at risk of tripping/falling as he walks
but is able to put full wgt on the foot,looks & feels good, has no pain nor complaints.
Wound healing nicely. No further need for hyperbaric oxygen. Deep level healing will continue for several weeks at home.
Then weeks of radiation.
Grateful thanks for the love & prayers that
have been a gift to us both.
