Wednesday
Well, Linda was very proud of her performance yesterday. She sat up from flat on the mat 3 times.
This afternoon, she did the stairs (much improved from last week) and followed with 80ft in her walker. We happened to go by the main doc on the way and he was quite impressed. After that, she spent her OT session doing weight training. She is getting stronger all around.
The last therapy of the day was speech. We worked on Linda's vocal range and had her do Mary Had a Little Lamb again. It's pretty rough, but recognizable; and it was a bit better than last time.
This afternoon we taught Mary (i.e. twin sister) how to do transfers with Linda. Someone else can lift Linda around for a change.
Case conferences are today. They decide going-home dates at them. Even if they change Linda's, I think she will insist on coming home on the 19th. So it looks like she's going to need a wheelchair for going home. She can walk, but there is a difference between being able to walk and walking all of the time (and safely without assistance). I'm sure we'll work it out.
