Making Pizza

I am having a difficult time choosing titles, because Matt is doing so much it is hard to pick just one.
Tuesday Matt settled back into the routine of work, work, work! He stood for 2 intervals, 5-6 minutes each time.He was happy when the fist time he stood, he didn't get dizzy. He wasn't able to take a step, but standing well. Matt aslo tried a new machine. It is like a stepper but when you are sitting down. His knees are bent at a 90 degree angle, and then he has to push down. The physio would help push on the top of his knee so he could get started. Had a harder time with the left, but that will come in time. Great exercise for increasing muscle strength in his quads. Matt was able to visit with Rocky and Barret. Paul Gustafson came by to visit and see how things were going.
Wednesday Matt had a shave and a haircut. Thank goodness he doesn't look like Rasputin anymore!! Wasn't feeling great though, has a really sore throat. However Matt persevered and stood up during exercises with lots of help. He even took 2 really good steps with his right foot. Didn't go far but it is better to have quality, not quantity. Continues to do all his arm exercises and stretches. Mom says if she takes the cap off a plastic bottle, and then puts it back on, Matt can remove it himself, so his fine motor skills are improving. Went to the mall for two hours. Didn't see anyone he knew but most of the students are busy with exams. When they returned, Matt was stuck in the van for 1/2 hours because the lift wouldn't work. Finally someone from physio came and tried a bunch of stuff. Finally the lift worked. Thank goodness it wasn't too cold outside.
This morning Matt was making pizza, so I am sure it was gone in record time. Had a visitor from Hudson Bay, a fellow who was in rehab and discharged in January. No swimming today, so hopefully next week. Matt was a little down tonight because mom had to go back to work. So we talked for over 40 minutes on Skype. Got to see the new haircut and shave. Matt states he feels naked now. Cool on the face.
Prayers for continued healing and more good things to come.
