Bob and Sharon's Spring Break!

Dear Friends and Family,
Boo-hoo! Spring break is over! Although we didn't go anywhere exotic, I took the week off and had a wonderful time just being with the Bob. I got to witness Bob's miraculous recovery in progress at Loma Linda Outpatient Rehab and my, oh, my, he and this angel therapists are truly something to watch in action. Here are Bob's latest miracles:

• Treadmill walking 17 minutes @ 2.3-2.5 mph
• Relearning how to do Sudoku (which he used to do everyday B.S.)
• Bench pressing his cane @ 2 sets of 20 with minimal assistance barely touching his right elbow)
• Shaking hands with everyone - lots of practice with activating his right arm and hand
• Missing only 4 on the Boston Naming Test (he had to name items with minimal cueing and Cynthia said that she was supposed to stop when he missed 6 but he never got past 4) and they were uncommon things. He was a man on fire in speech and Cynthia said he did "impressively very well". 
• Getting his weekly Friday massage from newest angel, massage therapist, Irene 

It was so beautiful so we got to have sun time at the park where we ate frozen yogurt and read his novel aloud together. I go back to work and will miss him but it's almost June! Retirement is scary - I can't imagine not going to work every day but I am so looking forward to focusing on Bob's recovery. 


That's it for now! Take care and much love,


Sharon   (Bob's biggest fan)
