Gord has now joined the ranks of what I call "The Wanderers". These folks roam the hallways in their wheelchairs and even use the elevators. Imagine my surprise the other morning when I walked into the front lobby of the Fanning Center and there is Gord Bosch sitting waiting for "something" or "someone". He lit right up when he saw me and felt so proud that he had gotten there himself. The independence is fantastic. He wanders away from me now in the cafeteria and heads for the elevators when he gets bored or just wants to move about. I have to run to keep up with him.
This morning he started to learn how to dress himself and the nurses tell me he got an A+ for the effort. I am not sure how they do it, but it seemed to work.
All in all things are looking good. On Wednesday he is going for an xray on his right knee to see what the swelling is about. On the 25th or so he will have another MRI on his head to see how well the blood has dissapated and if they can see the site of the bleed.
Our weather is getting great so I am feeling more and more like getting Gord outside for some walking (in his wheelchair still) - tried it the other day but got stuck in the mud at the corner. We were trapped on our little block. I was trying to get over to the Co op store for some entertainment but maybe in a few more days the mud will be gone and our path clear.
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone.....we have a little leprachaun in our family now named Declan!!!! AND he has red hair and is a feisty little Irishman! He visits Gord a lot and they have lots of fun together.
Love to all
Sheila

Hi Gord and Sheila,
ReplyDeleteWe have been keeping up with your blogs and we look forward to them. Gord has come a long way since Maui and things can only improve and get better with time. We hope you will get outside with the chair and not get stuck again. The weather has been getting nicer. You both are in our thoughts and prayers. Keep smiling.
Love Greg and Cecile
Happy St. Patrick's Day to both of you as well. We were so fortunate to meet your little leprachaun a couple weeks ago. He is indeed a feisty little red haired man. I fell in love instantly :) I can just see you running after Gord when He feels the urge to move... Some things just don't change.:) Still planning on a little visit in April just depends what's happening with my Mom. One way or other we'll be there. Much love to you both, Evelyn Dewinetz :)
