While Tom's not yet able to move back upstairs, he CAN go upstairs -- with supervision -- to the bathroom, though not for every call of nature. He's still camping out in the downstairs living area which is both his bedroom and bath. And that downstairs living area still has most of the seating moved out of it, no rugs that he can trip on (we don't have a real floor, just subflooring; sigh) and the table has a leaf dropped so he can maneuver the wheelchair around. And Tom's also still not trusting being able to step into the bathtub to have a shower (we have a shower chair), so he's still relying on downstairs sponge baths.

So life still has a way to go to regain what he had before he broke the ankle.

But his therapist told him this morning that he will probably graduate from therapy at the end of next week. From there on he's on his own.
