Due to circumstances of timing etc. I was late getting my little walk in. I managed to get myself out of bed on my own. The big chair had been moved to the guy next door as they had cleaned his bed up, so the only chairs were the little ones. I got to the chair and sat. Surprised how low it was. The physio lady came by and between us we couldn’t get me up. She recruited someone else and we made it. She didn’t have her following chair so I only went a little bit past the nurses station. Left enough in the tank to get back to the big chair she arranged before we left. I requested a popsicle for my reward!! I am using my yoga band and it definitely helped me wriggle to the edge of the bed and get my legs off of it.

Dr Lee was just here. She is looking into the colonoscopy. As today is Thursday and it is not on the schedule yet, it is probably not happening this week. Long weekend has an impact as well.

She is going to refer me for in patient rehab soon. Right now medically they are monitoring my electrolytes based on the depletion caused by the diuretic Lasix. She feels the colonoscopy can be done if I am on 3W or wherever the rehab unit is. It is a delay, but I’m definitely not ready to go home, so not the end of the world. I will do the work I can to gain strength to be able to return home when the time comes. 👍👍👍👍🤞🤞🤞🤞

I “almost” recognize my legs again!
