Going in for a cat-scan this afternoon as concerns still remain as to why my hip is not healing as quickly as they would like. The surgeon's are fairly confident that it is not more infection, which is good, but it would be nice to know what it is so they can fix it.
I'm doing my physio work every day under the guidance of my drill sergeant Marijo Corcoran. Don't ever get sick and have to report to this woman (see photo below for identification).
I have new wheelchair that has allowed me two to three hours of mobility each day and is just nice to get out of the room. People are still dropping by to say hello which is much appreciated, but please don't feel you have to bring anything as our cupboards are full....except for Emilie who said she was bringing a chocolate pecan pie.
I typed my first e-mail this morning, but was extremely slow. I have a device to assist me in pressing the keys as my fingertips are still quite sore. So all in all, everything is progressing. Still anxious to get to St. Mary's but it will be a few weeks away now. Happy Canada Day to everyone tomorrow.
awesome to see you were able to escape and get outside for some fresh air!!!

Looking good Dad! It was nice talking to you yesterday and discussing pictures...felt like old times. I am so happy you are able to leave your room and get outside now when you like. I pray everyday that your hip will soon heal and we can get you over to St. Mary's to start the process of fully recovering.
ReplyDeleteI miss you every moment of every day.
Love You

Hi Bryan, Just got back from my fishing trip and was anxious to get news of your progress on your blog. Nice wheels you got there. Mary and I are looking forward to seeing you when we go for the golf day.

Hi Bryan and Marijo, I sent you a message last nite but I dont see it posted so I'll try again. Just got back from my fishing trip yesterday and was very anxious to get the latest news on your blog. I see you got some new wheels and a pretty good looking chauffeur also. Hope things continue to progress well for you and we will see you when we go for the golf day on the 27th.

ReplyDeleteHey Brian, just reading your blog...it seems to me you should be an inspiration to all of us. Looking at the picture of you outside I can really picture how it must of felt. As you know my daughter spent a lot of time at KGH and I know the relief she felt to get out of there. And the food yuck...it used to be shipped in daily from Ottawa not sure if that is still the case. But I don't think she ate any of it. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteBryan,
ReplyDeleteGlad you can finally get some fresh air. One thing is sure, it's getting to get better from here :-).
I'll miss on the golf tournament (I'll be heading back home for vacation soon, eventho I have't bought my tickets yet ..) but get that hand ready for some B ball ;-) cause I'll be there and I'll take no excuse ..
Thinking of you buddy ..
