Really, part deux

[Spun Silver]

How nice that you can get away for a few days to work and see palpable improvement when you return! I hope the air quality gets better soon so you guys can get out for a stroll. Lee must be so sick of hospital rooms!

Happy Anniversary Lee and Gerry and many more. Hope next year, you'll be on your deck toasting the sunset.

This is still the right address to get cards to Lee:

Just a short note... today is our Anniversary. I got her some new hospital clothes, flowers, and a card.

She got me a hug. Fair trade!

I wanted to share a picture of her flowers and card but can't figure this site out. Try the link below, it might work.

Happy Anniversary! I’m continually inspired by your love story. It’s always been clear that Lee has a tremendous amount of love and respect for you, Gerry, but it’s been kind of nice to hear your side of things too

 

[Spun Silver]

Happy Anniversary!

Lots of great kids

 

[victorskid]

Thinking of you as we enter the last day of of the Junior Grand Prix event in Richmond, BC. There have been 2 other events this weekend, both in the Challenger Series, meaning some debuts of new programs for this season. And some people say we're still in the "off season"

I hope @Really is slowly but surely debuting some new moves too!

 

[victorskid]

So Fall has officially arrived in North America - there has been snow in Alberta & Manitoba (and parts of Northern Ontario, I believe); tornadoes in Canada's National Capital Region; some exciting skating in Oakville, ON (the Autumn Classic); the usual political news - what slow & steady progress is there to report from @Really ?

Know that we are thinking about you and hoping all is going well!

 

[Spun Silver]

Gerry, I am now living 3.5 hours closer to Canada. How are you guys? I hope many little steps have been taken since your last update. How about about Weaver and Poje's new programs?

Hi team... been a while. Today is Day 675. I've been getting away to work again, a couple days a week, which pays the bills but takes me away from Lee. She continues to get better, flexibility and strength are coming along, but we still have some flex/extension to work on; the hope is that she regains all the use of her hands, but there is a bunch of physio between now and then. They are custom-fitting a wheelchair for her, which should let us get a bit further afield.. the limited extension in one leg has kept us out of the generic chairs.

Cognitively, she remembers all that she should, processes well, and doesnt seem to have deficits; but it is still a bit dependent on her physical status, if she is overtired or sick, she gets a bit hard to understand. Still, it's all uphill, and as my daughter keeps saying, "Speed doesn't matter. Forward is forward."

This has been a long and windy road, with many detours, hills, and potholes along the way. Thanks for pushing and pulling when we needed it, and for cheering when we didn't. Friends are a big deal.

On my survivors group they always tell the newbies, this is a marathon not a sprint. Sending good thoughts.

 

[manhn]

Thanks, Gerry. I am glad to hear that she may have start moving around a wheelchair. Great progress!!!

 

[MrSatterwhite]

I'm so happy to hear from you both, Gerry! Thank you for making us part of Lee's day-to-day recovery.

Sunny and warm here on the west coast, was warm enough for just shorts and a T-shirt today.

 

[skatesindreams]

Echoing the happiness of all here!!
Thanks so much for allowing us to share your journey.

Steps are wonderful!

 

[once_upon]

Thank you the updates. Of course she'll get tired. Therapies are hard work. It's the steady progress that's important
