DAY 2 AT REHAB

I let a few days slip by without journalizing, so I'm setting up my "recall" button, and hoping for the best.

My OT therapist Char laughed when I asked her how many years she had been doing this…."since 1965"….and five years past her retirement…she missed it too much…and still guides recovering folks like me to tying our shoes and getting out of bed, etc. On Day 2, we practiced my "sitting pretty" as I land my tush (gratefully) on any nearby chair. I tended to "plop" abruptly, landing with an oomph and small scream of pain and gratitude that I was off my feet. But thanks to Char, I am now sitting pretty and with style…or at the very least, without the violent drop landing.
