Jeff is headed out on his first road trip this morning to his doctor's office in Poway - For you non-CA folks that is about 25 minutes from the rehab center. When we talked last night Jeff was excited for the adventure and was getting ready to hang out with Shamu for the occasion - getting spiffy!
He has been working his butt off and can do much more than when he first arrived. His tests are going well and everything seems to be working.
Last week was quiet here because Jeff was busy learning and had some difficult days of pain in his back. As he heals and the nerves start to react, he experiences pain and spasms. But, he is pushing through and staying on focus for going home in early March.
Speaking of spiffy - Jeff got a much-needed haircut Monday night. Oh what a feeling?! They made him a happy guy.
Of course, my first question when he mentioned the adventure today was..."Are you going to stop at In-and-Out for lunch?" Funny, Amanda suggested stopping for lunch, too.
Healing is the key word here. Let's hope the pain stops soon, but it's good to hear he is healing. Today's checkup is with the Dr. that did his surgery, so it'll be good to get his perspective on the progress Jeff is making.
Enjoying our first trip to Lake Martinez, AZ "the river". Good times! Finding our new normal.
Whoot Whoot Way to heal Jeff!!!! <3 and miss you!

ReplyDeleteJeff,
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time that I read your blog. Being a computer illiterate I had no idea how to do this but Ashley put you in our favorite folder so now I know.
I think about you so often and understand much of what you are going through. You are so very lucky! You know what I mean. You have such a great support staff. Do not let that drift away once you are home. It meant so much to Barry and I that you came to visit on your last trip to Mi.You had such a positive about SCI already and got us excited about your friends new web site. I really believe that you have a wonderful life ahead of you!
Just wanted to let you know that we think of you often and wish you great success in your recovery.
Karen
