Tidbits

David just left for his first PT session since his heart repair. I'll be eager to hear how that goes. Last night he was bemoaning the fact that he had not been doing his exercises and that he likes to go in for these sessions in good shape. I reminded him of why he hadn't been doing his exercises - two incisions that needed to heal - doctor's orders to take it easy! He let me know he still would like to go in feeling more fit and on top of things.

In my last post I neglected to say that although he is back to work it does continue to be part time.

I also think I jinxed myself by saying I hadn't missed any deadlines - turns out I missed a BIGGY and have had to spend the last 2 days writing like a mad woman to turn out a 15+ page prospectus that was to have been turned in 4 months ago (right about the time of David's stroke . . . hmm . . . wonder how I missed that one?). Thankfully the grad office is being extremely gracious and patient with me. Without this prospectus I should not even be enrolled in the classes I'm taking this semester, nor can I apply to have my research approved.

David continues to experience ever-changing weirdness on his left side. It feels to him like things are worse, but it's hard to tell why that might be - if they actually are worse, if he is experiencing results of being less active in recent days, or if more sensation of some sort is returning which is causing it to feel different (but isn't necessarily truly worse). It's so hard to tell.
