exercise!

Hubby got a trip to the mall yesterday to "power roll"... he was able to roll himself around for quite a while and managed to make it up 6 "ramps"...

His opportunity for upper body exercise has been limited to weights because we have had freezing rain in our area which made outside too cold even during the day and our house is too small for much movement by him in the WC. He really enjoyed his short trip out... He has been trying to stay busy, but the bloom is off the rose and he is bored when things get too quiet...

Next week is a follow up with the surgeon and he is hoping for a small increase in his range of motion even though we suspect that he still won't be allowed any weight on the right leg. Just being allowed to bend it a small amount would enable him to start doing a few more exercises... He really wants rehab to start.

All in all things are okay for him but my "doer" hubby really wants to be DOING something!

Whittling? Knitting? I know! Stuffing envelopes! J/K.
I'm hoping for phenomenal progress so rehab can begin soon.
