Hung out with my Old Man most of the day today, and let me tell you, that man is strong and I’m proud as **** to call him my dad. 7 days ago I sat by his bedside as he couldn’t hardly move. He couldn’t could not get out of bed, he could scratch his nose, he could hardly move his right side. Seeing Superman like that was hard as ****, but I was hopeful because I know my dad. Today, I was able to be there for all of his OT & PT sessions and I was amazed to say the very least. They kicked him out of his electric wheelchair and put him in a manual chair that he pulls around with his legs, “powered by Jeff”, as he would say. After they took his chair, I watched my dad walk close to 400ft with a walker and minimal assistance from his physical therapists, he walked 45ft without a walker and minimal help. He can stand on his own, he can almost roll out of bed from laying flat on his back. His hands are still a work in progress, but it’s worlds better than what I had previously witnessed.
Now these are not the greatest videos by any means, but they show amazing progression.
