Well looks like when I updated about Cosima driving soon she beat me to the punch. When Sam flew in on Friday to visit Cosima was in the driver's seat. Thelma was with her and she hasn't driven alone yet but am sure that will be happening quickly.
Sam was so impressed with her progress and how well she is doing and so soon. Already she is at where the doctors said she would be at the 1 year mark.
Her intense physical therapy on her arms is paying off and she is regaining her mobility and strength.
Cosima and Sam walked for about 3 1/2 to 4 miles 1 day in various places. She was able to get up and over rocks and walk on some very uneven ground. Her pace may still be slow but being able to get in that many miles in 1 day is impressive though she did pay for it a bit with some soreness the next day.
They went to the cabin to pick up some painting supplies and were able to sit by the stream drinking tea together.
It was a great weekend and the weather even hit 70 degrees on Sunday though the day before it snowed. Sam came home yesterday excited about his mom's tremendous progress. Even better was how positive she is about continuing to recover and prove those doctors wrong with their estimates of how long it will take her to get to the next stage. Once again she is surpassing every one's expectations but knowing her and how determined she is we shouldn't be surprised.
rapidly improving
Sorry it has been so long between posts, life gets in the way and suddenly it is weeks later. Cosima has been making remarkable progress. She switched physical therapists and has found someone she feels is really helping make some excellent progress.
Cosima has been focusing on increasing her arm strength and her mobility. She is seeing some good improvement thanks to her new therapist and all the time and energy she is putting in to her recovery.
Something she has working towards is being able to drive again. She is hoping she will be back on the road again in several weeks. This will really be the next step in regaining her freedom.
Sam is visiting her tomorrow. He is excited to see her progress and get caught up in person. It is never quite the same to talk on the phone versus being there in person. He arrives this afternoon and will leave on Monday so this will give them some good time together. Am sure I will have some additional updates after I hear from him.
