July 22 QUIETER DAY

We're thinking this will be a bit of a catch-up day. It was a very exhausting day yesterday - so very thankful today is not as busy. He is done physio and occupational therapy for today so now he can rest up for quite a busy day again tomorrow. We brought a wheelchair back to the room last night to go back and forth in for a few days - he feels he's going backwards but I don't think so - walking back and forth to hospital plus physio (especially if they won't cut out the treadmill) is just a HUGE step and then he feels like he's hit the wall.

He had a better sleep last night but still very tired when we got back to the room. Maybe this afternoon he will feel like catching up on some of the news from the past 3 1/2 weeks. He is struggling with 'feeling comfortable in my own skin' (quote). He is still very shaky (probably predominantly caused by one of the anti-rejection drugs) and of course he is also dealing with being diabetic and all that entails but he is facing it all extremely bravely and with a great attitude!

I think he is actually 'watching' TV this afternoon for the first time since surgery - it was too difficult to concentrate on other things before.

Thank you for your continued prayers and concern - we know this is just the start of a Different long journey.
