I think Matt has enjoyed the stay so much he wants to stay an extra day. Tonight if the weather stays decent we will go a watch a ball game in town.
Sunday we stayed around the house. It was more of a relaxing day except in the kitchen, which is constanly on the go. Airene and her friend came and did more physio with Matt. He asked how come it lasts 2 1/2 hours and we told him that it was good for him. I think he disagreed. He was feeling pretty stiff afterwards. Matt stayed up in his manual chair all day. Played some more Wii in the evening. Matt beat Gary and someone was sulking! Matt was pretty tired but still didn't go to bed until midnight. Slept well.
Monday Jacki, Gary and the kids left and so did Nolan and Lindsay. We didn't have much time to recover and we had more company from Edmonton. Auntie Ardis, Uncle Ken, Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Hughie came down to visit. Thank goodness because Uncle Ken helped me plant the garden. Matt again stayed up in his manual chair. No standing exercises today but we did practice using a board to transfer Matt from the chair to the bed. He does help out enought to get him transferred nicely, but the rest of the supportive crew spend too much time giggling they are useless!! We had a game of dice and crib, then had to stop for a hot wing break.
Thanks for everyone who reads the blog and keeps up on all Matt's happenings. We will write more tonight.

hey matty sounds like you had a great wkend. ours here at the lake was very busy with lots of people and only once did the police need to be called. i hate having to deal with people that think they can do anything they want just because they pay 8 dollars to come into the park.
anyway you sound like you are in great spirits and doing great. keep up with the wonderful works you are doing. so glad you have someone there to keep us in constant contact.
