It was fun to spend the day with mom yesterday and she loved being out into the world again. After working out in the other rehab, I went by the butcher's before mom and I did a Trader Joe's run. We even went to lunch after her rehab for balance! That was interesting! The therapist did a series of tests to see what mom's issues are regarding her being off-balanced and falling. In conclusion, she said that the surgery boot really was the cause of her latest falls but also feels she could use just two more appointments to work on her balance. She gave mom exercises to help but feels that she will be more stable on Friday when the doctor removes her surgery shoe for good. Her last visit will be next week when she is in her own shoes again.
Today, I am going to an ILD Support Group meeting at my hospital. It is going to feature the head of the sleep clinic. We discovered that we all have some sort of sleep issues so the moderator arranged for Dr. Claman to meet with us. I will report back tomorrow.
Remember to eat well and exercise. Be kind to yourself. Smile.
