Quiet Day

Matt's day was fairly quiet. Wasn't feeling so hot and nausea was not a welcome companion. However he still manged to eat some food and was up in his chair for 3 hours. His neck gets sore and increases his nausea, but the pain is relieved with Advil. Dad is really enjoying the amenities of rehab. Dad and Matt go and read the paper together in the "living room" and can watch TV or read books.
Physical rehab was short due to a general Friday off for most staff. In the 1/2 hour they applied the TENS machine to Matt's left leg and left arm. It stimulates the nerves and moves the extremity a bit. They didn't need to turn it up too much before the muscles start moving, which is good.
Nolan and Lindsay are driving up from Calgary and are due anytime. Matt worries about Nolan when he is driving and probably won't sleep until he arrives.
Unfortunately John and I are at a conference for the weekend and I don't have my bible at hand, but I will put down my favorite verse. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not on your own understanding; in all ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight". I believe it is found in Proverbs.

Hey Matt! sorry i didn't make it over Friday afternoon, ended up working all day. sounds like you weren't really up for the 'special blend' anyway. i'll have to bring it by next time. Hope you're feeling better today. Enjoy the game tomorrow. Go Riders! erin

Ready for the big game tomorrow? I think all of Saskatchewan will be watching. It looks like that the Riders are expected to win according to the sport reporters. Let's hope they're right.

Let's hope they get your chair shortly. Sure is good to hear that Hudson Bay has a bed for you when you get home.

Just a note of thanks to your mom and the girls for keeping up with the blog. It is really appreciated and I know it's extra work for them but it sure keeps us up to date and praying.

Have a super Sunday.

Take care.
