the end of week 2 at RIC

When Nora and I talked to John tonight, he was tired -- he'd had 2 hours of PT today. During the first session, he worked on the treadmill. During the second one, he did 20 minutes on the bike (I haven't seen this yet, so I'm not sure how it works) and then did an entire lap around the floor on the walker with his PT holding the loop on his gait belt (if you look closely on the earlier photo of him on the walker, you might see the red belt over his red Sixers shirt).

He was also very happy to report that he can now manuever his wheelchair around his room enough to get to his closet.

And we're closing out the second week at RIC...

    1. Hi, Brian -- Nora and I are heading in shortly to visit, but will have to leave by 3:00 (CT/ 4:00 ET) so this evening or tomorrow night would be a great time for you to call :)
