Exhaustion! (Joseph's Title for today) -- Wedneday 2/1/06

Today was a very busy day! Along with speech therapy and speaking valve "class", physical therapy worked Joseph's arms, took him in around in a wheel chair, then took him to the gym to work his legs. After a rest they sat him up on the edge of the bed and worked his arms again. There were a lot of other things in between, but needless to say-- he was exhausted!! He has a bunch of really great people here, helping him to get his strength back. It seems great to be doing something even if it is exausting. He was so tired he was shaking and threw up. He has a massage therapist who worked him over for an hour and made the world good again. He's looking forward to a good night's sleep and back to work again tomorrow.

Ohh! Massage...mmmmmm! :-)

Going to the gym is exhausting, but worth it in the long run, right? *wink* You just KNOW I had to say that.

Keep up the good work! Hugs!

That does sound exhausting, but keep up the good work you will do great! I think I found some winning chick flicks you just might like, so when you get sick of all the action packed movies just let me know.

Hey Joe! I am sorry to hear about what happened, but I am happy to hear about your progress! Rehab sounds like hard work, but you'll pull through! You are like that! Good luck!
I am praying for you every night!
