Steve's Status

Sorry for the delay on updating, it has been a hectic week.
Steve is doing okay and has transferred to a rehab facility to work on regaining some strength and motor skills. When he heard it may be for two weeks, that didn't sit so well with him, he wants to be back to work, the gym etc. He has gotten his head around it and is waiting to get things started.
The rehab plan is pretty much a full time job. Steve will be having occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy. Both OT & PT will be twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Speech is once daily.
This has been quite a bit different from the recovery from the first surgery. We have been told this is much more typical. As we heard following the first surgery, Steve's recovery and handling of the major surgery was somewhat "freakish", actually they just said it was not the typical response. What we are seeing now is much more typical. Typical or not, it doesn't make it any easier. Since Steve and I both thought his recovery would be like the other one, we are coming to terms with the reality of this time.
He is still focused on regaining his strength and getting back to his routine day-to-day business. He is doing better each day and is super motivated.
Monday is day one of therapy, I'll blog either Monday or Tuesday to let you know how it is going.
Your thoughts, prayers and support mean a great deal to both of us. Keep them coming and know that we appreciate it.

Peace,

Kim
