1:00 pm Update

Tomorrow morning the surgery schedule should be out and Paul will find out what day/time his pins will be removed from his left foot. This should still happen Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

The last couple days during Physical Therapy Paul has stood at the parallel bars on his right foot for a few seconds. This morning he told me he was able to get into the wheelchair on his own with no help. This is teriffic news and one of the things that needed to happen before he can be released from the hospital.

He is really happy with how much strength he is gaining every day. His spirits are up and he is looking ahead to his next goal....going home!

Good job Paul. Just starting to get around will really help everything. Hope they do take the pins out today (Monday) so you can make that next move -Going Home! Actually that will be Palm Springs, I hope, because the sun really helps in healing, especially mentally. See you sometime this week.
