Chuck

The nurse came in today and was very pleased with Chucks BS readings. And his Carb intake for meals. Infact she was so pleased that we have been maintaining the levels, that she told us that she saw no reason that she needed to come out anymore. The VA will be sending one of their own nurses out once a month.
We will still have the PT here 3xs a week for the next month. Yesterday she put Chuck thru a good work out. I had to go out of the room because it reminded me of the PT that i had to do for 6 weeks after my motorcycle accident. But he only gets about an hour compared to my 4+.
We went for a walk today around the block. Remember the first time it took 2 hours? Well this time it took about 45 minutes. He even walked a pretty good pace. Sometimes even without shuffling.

More good news. Now, if you can just get him to like that rabbit food your feeding him.

were getting there. If he likes it or not, he gets it. He knows i wont fix him a bunch of garbage, and i wont let him buy a bunch of garbage.

Thank you for the update. Glad that you're there.

That's big progress. All that food you're preparing and naps that he's getting is paying off.

Great job,
Jim

Dick, it is so encouraging to hear that he is able to walk better. Pretty soon he will be able to come over and hike some of these SF hills! I'm looking forward to seeing you tonight.
