This week is zipping along as here it is, already Wednesday evening.
Robert has continued to make good progress in physio with today being the first day he got to attempt walking using a walker. He accomplished that feat successfully, going a short distance, always leading with his stronger leg. The physio also helped him attempt a transfer into our vehicle, a task he carried out in "textbook style" in Tracy's words,.... a piece of cake. Now we could drive somewhere of a short distance except I can't begin to lift his present wheelchair into the back of our car. All in good time.
Robert and I would really appreciate continued prayer for the pain issue. He is not able to stay up for very long as he just gets too uncomfortable sitting in his chair.
And of course, as the workload in physio increases, the pain level rises accordingly.The doctor is playing around with the meds, but doesn't seem to hear what Robert is saying when he explains his areas of pain. It's a frustrating thing to be in so much pain day after day. Pray for wisdom for the doctor in prescribing pain medication, and for the hand of God to touch Robert in such a way that the pain becomes a nonissue.
Thanks to all of you for your continuing prayers and for your cheers from the sidelines.

Hey Robert!
Just figured out that you can leave comments - I am so '80s. Sorry that my last impromptu visit didn't work out. I will be hopefully passing through in the last week of October so I hope to see you then, if that is alright. Now that I know how to use this, I will let you know when as the time nears. Be assured that many are holding you up in their prayers.

Way to go Robert. There may not be a lot of comments but be sure we read this regularly. And many as just stated do not know how to say anything. I didn't until told. God Bless and have a good rest of the week.
