Slept better. 82 for my Fitbit sleep score, with 1 hr. 44 minutes deep sleep. I saw that OT had a session with me at 8 am and wondered what that was all about. It turns out that it’s shower time. Wow! I haven’t had a shower for weeks. I realize that, bed baths notwithstanding, I must be smelling fairly ripe!

I had two PT sessions yesterday and three today. Spaulding has amazingly good therapists and their gym has all the toys. Today we did sessions working with stairs, walking (I can do about 30 feet at a time), isometric exercises for the legs, and weight machine for the arms. I had mentioned to the therapist, Tori (short for Victoria), that there was some confusion about whether I could progress to some weight bearing on the right leg or not. SLC had said a week ago that I would be able to be 50% weight bearing by now, but the ortho team had told Spaulding that I was touchdown only. Tori called up SLC, and they’re going to change my weight bearing status tomorrow. That’ll mean a whole new set of exercises, I expect. That’ll be exciting!

I am tired this evening, but I’m so glad I got into Spaulding. They don’t take everyone. I would never have gotten this level of therapy anywhere else. I’m already seeing improvements in how I use the walker to get up from a sitting to a standing position, and back, and in walking as well.
