From Teresa... Tami says "I must be getting better because all my therapists are increasing the intensity of my workouts. Even the speech lady has me doing 3 digit math problems!" On Mon. she had to go up and down a flight of stairs without her cane. It scared her to death to come down, but she did it! She also walked the whole parameter of the rehab floor. (It's about 400 feet.)
We set up an eye exam at the Cosco right behind the hospital for Tues. afternoon. We went in the wheelchair and walked over to it. She got a new prescription for glasses and soft contacts. The adventure wore her out, but she can see and read better now.
Today in occupational therapy we pinpointed some "tone" in the left arm and shoulder area. It was very painful to stretch out. So she will be focusing on working on it during "down time" to try to avoid permanent damage. Grandma Ann is visiting now and will remind her to work with it.
Aunt Rosemary was up last night and gave her another hip massage.That felt great as always. Riley and Patty stopped by during her lunch break. They were amazed at how much better she looks compared to 4 weeks ago, (before the last surgery.)
Right now it looks like she will be going home to St. George on Nov. 10th. Yeah!!! Until then she is trying to get the most out of all her therapies. She will have out-patient rehab down there. More later...Teresa.

Tami, you are doing great! I want you to ask your doctor when you come home to St George if you can have Lymph massages. I will give you them free at my spa every day if you want it. I know you have alot of massage friends but the lymph is kind of tricky. I own a laser that can do it for you. Let me know what I can do to help you.
Keep up the good work
