I'mm up for a couple of big changes in the next twodays. Tomorrow morning my traecheotomy comes out. Not a big deal itself, but big implications.
It means that I'll be able to leave the floor on my own - lounges, the cafeteria, the whole building to explore. And those gardens! I'll be outside every day! And it let's them schedule the swallow test.
The swallow test is on Thurs., and if all goes well I'll be eating and drinking by Friday. Yeah! Big changes compared to the last 5 months.
Now just bring on that motorized wheelchhair!
Wonderful news. Let the swallowing begin,And outside jaunts or on wheels, this is the best news since the first update.
ReplyDeleteSuch good news FG. I hope all goes well this week and you get your new wheels soon. The garden awaits!
ReplyDeleteAh, progress! Hopefully all goes well with the swallowing and you can eat again -- just don't make a pig of yourself. I can only begin to imagine how good it will feel to be able to get outside after months in hospital.
ReplyDeleteEach little step is a big success.
ReplyDeleteSoon you will be able to rip through the McDonalds Drive-Thru which if I remember correctly isn't too far from Parkwood. Are you going to get some racing stripes on that chair. Maybe some orange flames around the wheels somewhere. Will the hospital staff have to send out an APB (All Points Bulletin) when they can't find you?? That is sure to happen you know once you have your new wheels. Say, will you have to do an MTO drivers test for that speed machine??
ReplyDeleteFine news! Don’t overdo it. You’ll be exploring soon enough.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear of your progress, hope all goes well with the swallowing. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGood news, I hope all goes well for your next steps. Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! That is indeed exciting news! Well, if the McDonalds isn't close enough there is a chicken place just across Southdale and you can get a haircut at First Choice in the same strip mall. On second thought, that is a busy street, don't go there. :S
ReplyDeleteGreat news, F.G. that you can soon get outside. Look out world!
Great news! I will be cheering you on with the swallow test, and hopefully soon to be eating and drinking again. Yay! :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't hurry too fast! Take it easy. Such good news. My hubby has another prostate cancer treatment tomorrow. sigh.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Linda :o)
Hopefully today brings good developments.
ReplyDeleteProgress! Glad you are headed in the right direction.
ReplyDeletewhoop whoop, hugs and prayers

ReplyDeleteWOOHOO ! awesome news I hope all goes well and to plan for you . I bet that wheelchair is going to be very busy outside soon and so will your camera . Glad to hear your doing so well .
ReplyDeleteThis is real progress! Rooting for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat news.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
All the best Jan
Huge changes and new accomplishments. Great! We got our internet back up at the cabin yesterday so I can do more blog writing and reading. It's been six weeks without our satellite dish. It was attached to our shed that had to come down due to a BC government order. All shore improvements had to be removed for float cabins around the lake. Our shed and stairs were built before the lease, but they are now enforcing the rules after 18 years. We had to install a pole below the high water mark to make it legal. - Margy
