Thursday night

It has been a busy day.  John got all his training in, even switching a new system controller out.  Physical Therapy was by and certified us to walk by ourselves.  John used the high walker for one big loop, the short walker for 1.5 loops and no support for another half loop.  After we ordered dinner we walked, then ate, then walked again.  As of 8:00 tonight he has walked 2028 steps, a huge improvement over the past 12 days.

He also had the neck bandage removed, so he can move his head more freely.  He has a number of skin tears, due to tape removals, so those are being treated.

His blood pressure is a bit low tonight, probably due to new medication.

The swelling has gone down some in his left arm.  They did an ultrasound on July 31st to make sure there were no blood clots.
