It has been awhile since I have written in my blog. I will start with today and work my way backwards. I ran into one of my inpatient therapists from when I was in the hospital in January. She had not seen me since the 16th of January, when I had left went home. Outpatient and Inpatient therapists are usually different people.
Anyways, I was in a line waiting today for a taste of a chocolate energy drink when I saw my PT from inpatient @ Spaulding. She looked at me twice and started to get teary eyed. I asked, "do you know who I am" and she replied that she did. She said she was happy to see how well I was doing and hugged me. As I was leaving, the therapist said to go upstairs and make sure the other therapists and nurses saw me.
When I went upstairs, I saw the nurse in charge of my room first. She started to cry. I then went up to talk to the rest of the people. They were all very nice. Spaulding inpatient floor people can be very emotional.
Earlier in the day I had my brain injury group. It is always great to hear another perspective but today was weird. I was shocked to noticed that there was someone in my group that sounds like me. Now that's scary.
Had Cardiac therapy today also. They have increase my workload again-I actually for the first time felt like I had a mild challenge (still mild though).
My brother is still pretty sick (tranverse myelitis) but has stabilzed. My parent are now in Milwaukee with Glenn and are working their way to Baltimore to John's Hopkins as it has the largest transverse myelitis center in the US. Hopefully things will get better, My Mom has been at this for over 3 months now.
The big push forward now is the return to work. I went to visit my company last Friday. I was tempted to drool at the side, limp, pretend I have a tick, etc., but I figured people would be tenative around me anyways. It will be another transition.
My doctor @ Spaulding is working on my formal return to work letter. Spoke to him today and it should go out this week.
After reviewing this blog, there is 1 word I can use to describe it:
TRANSITION
