Rehab - what fun

I went to see my brother yesterday. I found him in the therapy room working weights with each hand alternating. Then he had arm stretches and worked his fingers in his left hand. The OT had him using pegs for muscle control and had him doing other things to strengthen his arms and hands. I missed the part where they were working on his legs. He has therapy every day for at least an hour and it really wears him out. But he does work hard to get his strength back. He doesn't complain and always has an upbeat attitude.

He was tired when he got back to his room. It took some time for the staff to get him back to bed as they have to use a lift and it was in use. He had to wait his turn.

All in all it was a good day but he does tire after all the therapy. He enjoys getting cards. He has quite a collection. He appreciates all the cards and prayers.
