No More Loaner

Monday Lynn got his very own wheelchairs.  The power chair was care of the insurance company and the new manual was our purchase.  The powerchair brought some need for adjustments in the house. It is much bigger and needed more room for manuveurs so there was some more furniture moving this weekend.  It really helped.  Another cool feature is that it raises up and then tilts back so it acts like a lounge chair.  We haven't tried it in the yard yet but it is supposed to make it safer to travel on grass and gravel.  The down side is Lynn's lower back tightens up in it.  We are making some cushion adjustments to see if that helps.

I love the new manual because the frame is made of lightweight aluminum and is so much easier to pick up and put in the back of the car.

Tuesday Jody Seward helped me get Lynn's pickup to Eugene  to sell. Now we have to get enough money out of it to be able to get a van for Lynn to drive with hand controls.

Thursday was our doctor visit.  We are going to halt therapy soon until we see what return Lynn gets.  Dr. Weller said there are signs Lynn is still healing and this would continue for at least a year.  He is doing all the things he needs to do at home in a daily exercise program to keep his tone and stimulate his muscles and she said that is more important right now than once a week therapy.

His spirits remain pretty steady.  Saturdays are the hardest, though, because that is when he remembers the chores he used to do around the place.  If you are reading this, we ask for your continued prayers.  All of this will always call for strength and there is power in prayer.  God bless!
