The water never looked so good
Hey everyone,
It's Marijo writing today. Bryan is beside me, but exhausted from a little jaunt down the hall to the sun room in a chair! I am hoping to post some video later tonight for everyone to see. Very exciting for him. He was like a kid on Christmas morning and I think it lifted his spirits for the afternoon. He even got to watch a slice of the PGA Tour while he was in there. It would have been the first time Bryan has seen anything other than the ceiling and four walls of our various rooms in 34 days. So it was a welcome change to see the water and some sail boats.
He has had lots of visitors this week. Thank you everyone for all the wonderful treats! We got to connect with his daughter Jennifer in Switzerland quite a few times on Skype, so that was fun.
His appetite is really coming back with a fierceness. So I am spending a lot of time shoveling food into him.
He has a slight rash today, which is most likely some kind of reaction to the bad sheets, but irritating nonetheless.
He is sitting up for a lot of time with his physio team each day and is definitely getting much stronger. It is interesting to watch him because one day he cannot do a task that they give him, but then in a few days following he is doing it no problem. Today they were trying to get him to sit up on his own from a laying down position. He really struggled to do it today, but I can guarantee you that he will master it in the next few days.
He is very much looking forward to the Golf Tournament on July 27th and is hoping that we will be able to travel there, so that is his incentive to do physio and eat the horrible hospital food each day (I don't think it's that bad!)
Okay. I am off to work my magic on the video. Talk to you later!

Hello Bryan. Nice to see you travelling today. Was rather hot and humid today but humidity left this afternoon. Hope you had a great Fathers Day. Nice shorts. Bill thought they were Montreal Canadian shorts and just couldn't make a comment. Before you know it your going to be wheeling yourself out your room and down the hall looking for more food. See you Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteHey Bryan, Nice looking private chaufeur you got there. Nice wheels too. Hurry up and get your driver's licence for that machine. Congrations on your progress. Glad you enjoy the view of the lake . Maybe you can come fishing with me on that water. I know how you enjoy fishing; ha ha.. Enjoyed your videos but having trouble with the audio. Better talk to your electonic technician about that. Hope to see you soon, Love
