John sees his physiatrist later this week for a general rehab check-in, and then the orthopedic surgeon in two more weeks, but for now, a short update:
After more progress testing today, OT has decided to discharge John (pending the doctor's approval). But not so fast if you're thinking that means less therapy! For a few weeks at least, John will do double PT sessions so that they can continue to work on the range of motion exercises for the shoulder that the orthopedic surgeon prescribed (which they've been doing) AND do more legwork like gait training and balance work (which had been a little neglected in the more immediate need for the shoulder work). I think this is officially the hardest physical thing he's ever done -- but he's getting inspiring results!
