Making progress with PT. Did a session with OT getting out of bed into walker, and getting out of chair into walker. And no more commode! Got into wheelchair with PT while Maureen was here, and took a wheel around the ward. Getting better at getting into walker, but still need a helper. NP Sharon from the ortho team stopped by. We discussed the low blood cell counts – I’m chronically anemic which is not unusual, but she’s ordering tests and that’ll tell us if I need to go on an iron supplement. She also removed the Ace wrap off my left leg and got me a new boot for the right foot. I had an MRI of my right arm, Tomorrow is the day for surgery to put in the port, and I’ll be NPO until after the surgery.
I checked the portal and I see I’m scheduled for a hospital visit to 300 1st Ave., Charleston – i.e., Spaulding. Looked at the BCBS portal to confirm and I see Spaulding is approved August 1-7. Yay (I think) Hope I get a view of the harbor!
