improving makes for a busy day

Seems that making progress in your recovery is a busy process. Sam got to see first hand on Monday how recovering is Cosima's full time job right now.

Her day starts off early and by the time she has gotten dressed, brushed her teeth, cleaned up, made her bed (yep she can do this by herself now), and eaten breakfast it is time for therapy. Her therapy lasts for about 3 to 3 1/2 hours each day. Between therapy session she eats her lunch and puts on a variety of creams to help with her muscle soreness.

After her therapy is over she has some time to write cards, go outside, put on more creams, and then it is time for dinner.

After dinner she can make some calls or read but then it is time to get ready for bed. Since everything takes her much longer to do getting ready for bed and ready in the morning take quite a bit of time and effort.

The therapy is exhausting and intensive but the strides she is making are incredible. One therapist told Sam Cosima is ahead of schedule and where they thought she would be. This is the kind of news we like to hear but aren't surprised knowing her strength and determination.

Thelma went back home for the day to get supervise the concrete walk being put in - it is actually a concrete walk so Cosima won't have to walk over stones to get in the house instead of new asphalt mentioned in a previous post. She will be back in time for Thanksgiving to celebrate with Cosima.

Here is to more busy days so she can be discharged in time for Christmas!
