Update on Rehab
Thursday, November 6th, 2008Nick has been at the rehab hospital for almost a week now. He is making great progress, but he is exhausted. They are working him very hard both in physical therapy and occupational therapy. he had four hours of therapy a day 2 PT and 2 OT. Nick says that this is the most difficult and exhausting thing that he has ever been through. Since the initial ankle fracture on 9/29, he has lost 40 pounds. So he is feeling very week. They good news is that he had 40 pounds to lose, so he actually looks great at his current “skinny” weight. However, he did not lose all of this weight in a healthy manner so he does not feel that great. They are thinking of releasing Nick from rehab next Thursday (11/13). He will be using a walker while in the house, and a wheelchair when he goes out, He plans to go back to work on Monday 11/24. Rehab has stressed that he not spend to much time at home before going back to work. They really stress that he needs to remain as active as possible, otherwise the ground he gained at rehab could be lost.
Please keep thinking of him, and keep the prayers coming.
Rene
