How nice it would have been to just skip over the last 5 weeks and jump to today. What a difference. Stu is doing fantastic--he was released from occupational therapy (OT), and now only has to go to physical therapy (PT) once a week. He has surpassed all of their milestones for recovery. He had an eye exam last week, and still has a little bit of double vision, so no driving yet.
Stu had an old friend from college visit over the weekend and the guys had a great time. They went for a hike on Saturday and Monday--slower than pre-surgery, but steady! The watched TV, laughed, ate, laughed, ate, and generally had a good time. Brad flew back yesterday, and Stu's dad arrived today (surprise!!) to help with the driving. Stu was very surprised (and pleased) when his dad walked in the door.
Stu doesn't know yet when he will be released to go back to work or to drive, but he is getting ready for both. I'm sure that being stuck at home gets pretty old after a while.

Way to go Stu! Glad to hear you are shocking the world with a speedy recovery. Best wishes. Rachelle and Martin.
ReplyDeleteStu great to hear that things are going so well and you are outlasting what all the naysayer doctors have told you. It is great to get some freedom, so do not take advice from uncle sam and say the hell with it and take a little drive. I can say from experience a drive by yourself can be very theraputic, but be careful. We wish nothing but the best.
