To everyone in Sunday's work party a huge thank you. The food and the fence and the garage and the downstairs of our house - just an incredible amount of work got done and we are very greatful. The goal of having me home really seems attainable now and it is hard to imagine that would have been possible without your help.
On the rehab front, my electric wheelchair arrived on Friday and I am learning how to operate it. We were hoping to be able to use the joystick control with my left hand, but I am having spasticity problems and that is not going well. As an alternative I'm using a "sip and puff" control which is difficult to master. We haven't given up on the joystick but it is good to have a back up. The spasms and spasticity have been increasing over the last couple of weeks and the doctors are trying to find the right combination of medicines to control them. We had a pretty good day today and are hopeful that it is a trend that will continue. We'll see. Rick
