OMG

OMG what a therapy session this morning! Libby couldn’t stand up this morning and transferring her to her wheelchair was really hard as she was barely weight baring and heavily relying on me, she was given her pain control medication half an hour before therapy. We met Clay and Tracy on the 4th floor and they started taking Libby through her stretches, she was in fits of giggles and spaced out again (not as bad as yesterday) but my god did she work hard, I don’t know why I expected anything else of Libby as she always works hard at her exercises but seeing as she was so weak and in pain I just wasn’t expecting what I saw. What a STAR, Clay said he didn’t see a whole lot of patients on the first full day of therapy doing as well as Libby!! He had her doing loads and ended on help walking (supported) to us – you should have seen her grinning face, she was so pleased and excited with the way her feet and legs were working, it reduced me to tears (not hard these days) – Clay said it was an AWESOME first session! I can’t wait for this afternoon’s session, WOW WOW WOW!!!
