Please tell Jeannie she is just AWESOME - although I'm sure you already have. I'm so impressed. It will be no time and she will be home and happy.

This afternoon I was able to visit Jeannie for a few minutes. I found her in exercise therapy and got to watch her strut her stuff, i.e. get up off the PT table unassisted, use her cane to walk over to the exercise bike that's like a recumbent stairstepper with arm poles, get on the bike and ride it for 20 minutes! She told me she started using that bike for the first time yesterday. Then she got up, walked to the wheelchair, sat down, and I had to just about jog to keep up as she accelerated down that endless corridor to her room, cornered on a dime and rocked a 3-pt turn to park the chair in a tiny space so she could climb onto her bed, all unassisted. NASCAR's got nothin' on our Jeannie, and ole Dr. EgoMan won't know what hit him. Obviously he's not used to encountering people with the strength and resolve of Spokewench, Margo49, Jeannie, and the rest of the TE gang.

So glad to see your post KayTee. I knew when I saw the picture of Jeannie that IFjane posted a while back that Jeannie was going to do just fine. I say this because, in my "previous life" I was an RN; my DH is an MD - the positive kind who talks to his patients from home in the evenings to keep their spirits up - and I have seen so much in the way of injuries and illness. Positive attitude is "where it's all at!!". Go Jeannie - and all her positive friends!! Never underestimate a cyclist!!

Can I alter my previous post? What would Dr. Mean say as you RIDE by his office door?

Too much logistics!
Just go to your check-up with your helmet slung over your left wrist. And be casually pulling off your gloves as you walk thru the door!
