Met a lot of new people

• Stephany, PT
• Joelma: PCA

First day at rehab. Sleep was not great. Did a morphine refill of 30 mg at 1:30 in the morning. I listened to ambient sounds on my headphone to drown out the snores, grunts, and wheezes of my roommate. I’ve dropped hints to the staff – we’ll see if they can do anything.

Had multiple visits in the morning from Lauren, my OT. Lots of questions about the set up of our house. How many floors? How many steps? What equipment do we have? This was followed by PT, with Evan and Stephany. Evan did most of the assessment with Stephany just watching. I think she’s the senior of the two. He asked many of the same questions as Lauren. He watched and analyzed how I got out of ed, into bed, used the walker, etc. I got into the wheelchair and wheeled myself down the corridor to the gym. I got to see into some of the patient rooms and look at the facilities on the way. Bottom line from OT and PT, I’m pretty strong and able to do things as well as, or better, than expected.

I called Maureen. She’ll be in this afternoon after the gym.
