Still in harrisburg hospital today. Moving to inpatient rehab at community general osteopathic tomorrow. Will be there 3 days to learn wheelchair transfers. Folks are coming from alaska friday for a preplanned visit and dad's building me a removable ramp for the wheelchair for a week. I have the most wonderful partner at home whom is here every day EXCEPTtomorrow as it is her bday and she's not allowed by me and is sentenced to tuesday nite poker w/ her friends.
condition updates- legs need weeks of rest to heal. immobilizer on the left, torn miniscus, partial quad, ham and calf tear, and cartilidge tears. RGT leg-no more tests for 3 weeks. likely torn ICL, brised from top to bottom. . no surgery for three weeks more.
2 plates and five screws in rgt arm too swollen to cast(soft cast for now).
TOOK TEN STEPS W/ PARALELL BAR AND MOD assist of one today and got my first real shower.![]()
left wrist starting to weaken so walking is done for a bit, butttttt- my surgeon, a utah mtn biker(and personally resposible for saving of my sidis, was the only one whom could figure out the ratcheting system.), suggested that when my body as ready, I rehab on a trainer and then trails ON THE BIKE!!!
The 80 y. o. got only a ticket for running a red light, my attorney's taking care of me. I was riding my bike across the street in the crosswalk when he struck me
