At home PT officially gets started on Thursday. The initial goal is to get me able to do quite a bit of things for myself that are impossible or far too much work right now. A lot of that will focus on rebuilding my arm strength after so many weeks of doing nothing. My arms are the closest to being white that I can remember.
Sitting upright on a bed and attempting to manipulate my legs with my arms and attempting to dress myself is a HUGE chore. What would take someone else a couple of minutes takes more than fifteen minutes now. And, the results aren't necessarily ideal. Especially as I am sweating.
Today's adventure is a visit to a Wound Care Clinic. I developed a bed sore (wound) on a butt cheek during the days before entering rehab. It is almost cleared up, now, but not quite. Any injury to the area without feeling is a big deal, so here I go.
I hear that raw honey is a good to put on wounds like that. Sounds like old timey medicine but I think the VA is even using it now.
So if you can't feel your butt does that mean it fell asleep? Is it snoring........
Get well.
Glad to hear that you are making your way forward. When we first heard about the bull, it did not sound good. Your continuing recovery is an answer to many prayers.
Welcome back Cow! We've missed you on the forum. You seem to have a great attitude with all you've been through. Wishing you much success on your path to recovery.

Glad you're back. My wife kept asking about you. I don't remember if I told you, but she's from Grinnell, KS. Her dad was both a rancher and a farmer. She's told me stories about her dad's bull, Big Boss. Best of luck with your recovery.
