Back to Normal

Things are finally getting back to normal in our house after a hellish six weeks, Jerry has almost recovered fully and is feeling a little more like his old self.  It's going to take some time for Jerry to gain what he's lost over the last six weeks, his muscles have lost some tone, his tolerance for being in his wheelchair has gone way down, his blood pressure drops more now then ever and the FES bike causes his heart to race after 10 minutes.  These are disappointing set backs that should improve over time.  The good news is Jerry started back at SCI-FIT this week getting the much needed workouts with an amazing crew, it's good to be back but I'm still hating the drive. More good news, Jerry's right arm is getting stronger, he can move his right arm as much as his left arm now, the only difference is the right arm fatigues quicker.   

That's all for now, I have to get Jerry ready, it's a SCI-FIT day.

God Bless!
