Welcome Back & New Wheels!


30Jul
Jess in her
Rockin Red
Runners
Jess came back to physio today - lookin’ stylin’ in her new rockin’ red runners (they move so fast they are just a blur in the photo)! True to form, she didn’t dial it back one bit today, even though she was just released from hospital on Friday (after being forced to recline while hosting an infection for the last couple of weeks). It was great to see her back in action, showing off her beautiful smile - it made our day!

Now the following pics are for Mom (and any of the rest of you who might be interested)...we took a few photos at Physio, so you could see Carman in action! Today was another tough day for him...he slept in til 11 and so was dragging during his workout. It took him 6 stops and starts to finish his 20 minutes on the bike...his O2 levels just kept dropping to low on him. The PT made him switch to an easier bike (lower tension) and we will try a new delivery mask tomorrow and see if that helps him.

We had a call from Starkman’s just before we headed to Physio and Carman’s new wheels are in! We went by after our workout to pick up his Rollator! Tony may have a new Lexus...Carman has a new Nexus! The large wheels make for much smoother navigation than the loaner we had from the Physio department (which we were only supposed to have borrowed for a few days, but his was on back-order). No more abrupt stops and tips when he rolls over the cracks in the sidewalk or when entering/exiting the elevators! the basket is set back further too, so hopefully no more toppling over and dumping out the liquid O2 stroller - like the grand entrance he made at Doug & Laura’s wedding!
He moves much faster with this smooth ride - I may just have to get a horn for this baby!
