Hi it's Linda (Sister Outlaw), just back from Bob and Sharon's and wanted to share my day with you all. So today is Friday, June 5th and I met them both at Loma Linda Out Patient Rehab, where Bob is checking in the "the system" and they are getting ready to put him on a program. So, once again, he had to answer all the questions, so a good plan is in place. The only problem I saw, was that he is changing minute by minute. It's been Six Days since I've seen him, and his progress is TEN FOLD..........he is in charge, he is setting the plan, and he communicated in direct statements in the whole process. Sharon told me that yesterday he just started talking in full style sentences. Now, understand, this guy has been up since 6AM, (woke up on his own-early) took a shower and had the appointment at 8:30am. We didn't leave until 10:30am, and when asked......"What do you want to do now?"......."Go To Mimi's".....so we got in the car, and drove over and had a great breakfast.



We all know how much Bob loves breakfast. And the experience was perfect. Good Food, Friends and laughter.



Afterwards, Bob had a nap, and I read a book I am trying to finnish while Sharon went over to the DMV to see if she could speed up getting the Parking Pass. Funny thing, she waited in line, submitted the paperwork, and the computers went down. People waited for them to come back up.....and they found out it was Statewide.She has to come back. But is half way completed, so it's in the system so will have it done on Monday or Tuesday.

Josh left today, and now Bob and Sharon will be relaxing for a couple of days. Don't be surprised if they show up at your house.......Bob is on the move. They are planning adventures for the local area (meaning Pasadena) and will be on the road soon.

Bob's PT person, whose name is Summer, told them Wednesday that Bob will be out of the wheelchair in two weeks, using the walker. And after today, I know that will be the least he will be doing.

Next week will be their first real Rehab schedule, and they will be putting the final dates and times on it this weekend, so those of you signed up and future Team Bob members, the Calendar is going into action next week.

Mimi's Cafe, can you believe it?????

  1. Yay!!!! This is WONDERFUL news! I'm not the least bit shocked that Bob is determined to rocket toward a full recovery because his will is rock solid and his support is just as sturdy!

    Linda - will I still be hearing from you about what help I can lend? I'm ready and waiting!
