Tim has been having physical therapy every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and he actually enjoys going there. His shoulders are still giving him some grief, but he’s shed four more upper body exercises and getting deep tissue manipulation which seems to help. He had his one month follow up with Dr Robertson on Thursday and he can now work full time, even overtime! He will continue to have physical therapy M, W, and F for at least the next month and it will be evaluated again at that time.
Tim has been working very hard to try to get that fit to wake up. He is now able to move it up and down!! This is a huge milestone! Until this point he was unable to lift that foot at all. The big toe is not responsive, yet. He has said that his left foot is more sensitive to the cold now. He will be seeing Chip at Hanger Clinic again to figure out a better cold weather work boot that will accommodate his AFO.
We have the appointments at the Mayo for further evaluation. We will be there for 3 days of appointments and additional evaluations. This is scheduled for Jan 23-25. Once we have met with everyone down there, I will post another update.
Four months after almost losing him, he’s back to doing what he loves with minimal restrictions (50lbs maximum lifting and no climbing things other than to get into his machine. Miracles do happen when you believe in God!
We hope you all have a blessed holiday season!
Tim and Joanie
