New BIke

I am at work right now, and I forgot all Matt's information at home so I will try and wing it. (Don't worry, I am at John's office, he can't fire me!!)
Wednesday Matt was able to try out a new bike. I have seen them before on TV, especially on long bike races. They transfer Matt into it with the lift. He sits very low to the ground with his legs extended in front of him. The way he makes the bike move is with arm power. But the good thing is Matt has to use both arms to get it going, not just relying on his right arm. He did really well however he hasn't got the technique for turning yet and ran into a few walls!! He will use this machine once a week in the gym. They were also impressed how well he sat in the machine. Only needed a velcro strip.
Matt also did some standing exercises, trying to get those big clod hoppers to move. Needed lots of help but still progressing. Visited with Rocky and Barett. And sorry, but Matt did some more baking and there are no cookies left. They were gone in 5 minutes. Of course they were double chocolate chewy things so what did you expect? Matt did everything except measure the margarine, it was too hard from being in the freezer.
Thursday Matt had more visitors. Didn't have as much rehab today because he had a Dr's appt with the urologist. He was impressed by Matt's improvement and credits alot to the new meds he is on. Previously in December, Matt's bladder could only hold 100mls and would start to spasm. Now he can hold 300 mls. Occupational therapy consisted of playing Sorry, which Matt lost.
Today the troop should be going home for the weekend. Mom doesn't work so it should be much better. Will go the Golden Age to kick butt in crib and maybe get up to see grandma at the nursing home. It might be possible to use the standing machine there for Matt to practice but will have to see.
Tonight I will only be able to talk to Matt on the phone. I was really enjoying seeing him on the computer, but dial up at the farm just won't cut it!
