Go Dogs

We went to the Truman football game today. It's nice that there is handicap parking right close--that really makes things simpler.

A football game may not sound like much, but consider that she has to navigate to a seat somewhere, and she has to sit for a long time without a back. I helped her walk to her seat. We were slow, but it went fine. Sitting was pretty good, too. Trunk control has been a strength of Linda's since way back in her recovery. Linda did eventually get tired, so we left early. It looks like the Dogs are going to get creamed anyway.

It is nice that we are gradually getting back to many of the activities that we did before. Soon we can expect to go to an entire game. Eventually she'll need less help getting to her seat. It should just get better and better.

Speaking of activities that we used to do, maybe tomorrow we'll try working on karate. We won't be able to do much (at all), and we won't be able to do it for long (5 minutes would be a true success). But we can start. I mentioned it to the PT yesterday, and, amazingly, she encouraged us to try it since it was an activity we used to do before. If we do, I'll let you know how it goes.
