tuesday 2100h:

Hey everyone! Wow, thanks for all the offers of rides. You guys are all so good to me (us). Things have changed a bit, so everything is on hold for a couple of days. The doctor at St. John's is concerned about David's lungs and may send him back to St. Mike's, so I'm going to give it a few days and make sure David is really staying there before I leave the hotel. It's easy to get to St. Johns on the subway and bus from here. St. John's is lovely in an old residential neighbourhood. Everyone is very nice and made David feel comfortable. I got to go on the ambulance transfer with David, which was great. Right now, David has a private room with a balcony! There are lovely grounds with a path and lots of big, old trees. I got to take David for a walk in a wheelchair this afternoon. He put on real clothes and breathed real fresh air, heard birds, smelled flowers, felt the breeze. It was sooo good for him! Tomorrow he gets his first shower in 46 days and will be assessed by occupational therapy and physiotherapy. MRI results showed some tears in some knee ligaments, but nothing requiring surgery. I'll keep you posted when/if I need help with a ride later in the week. THANK YOU!
