Fred’s Progress

Fred can now do the following none of which he could do two weeks ag:

urinate normally
wear normal underwear
go up and down our sixteen stairs at a normal pace without breathing heavily
sleep through a whole night two out of three nights
take “normal ” naps not three hour naps.
enjoy cooking again.

He has a physical therapy person who comes twice a week and takes him through exercises and he is walking up and down the stairs and round and round the table AND doing the exercises. Today he got on the treadmill and did ten steps.

He has seen his primary doctor and has another appointment in March. He has said he will call his kidney doctor and make an appointment to see her.

He is looking forward to being allowed to drive in a couple of weeks. He is looking forward to buying the groceries again.{So am I! LOL}

Fantastic! Fred sounds to be as close to full recovery as he can be without actually being there. You’ve certainly been through the wringer over the past month. I hope that now you can get in some well-deserved relaxation. frank

Wow, that’s great progress. It really doesn’t seem like that many days ago that things seemed so bleak, and now look at him. This must be such a relief for you to watch him actually getting better, rather than staying in his ‘worse’ state.

Terrific report, Patrisha! I am so happy that he is finding his way back to health! I guess he knew best, checking himself out of intensive care. Being in those places is sheer awful, so I don’t blame him for that. Yes, it will be nice when he can take over on the shopping again! Love, Anna

Smiling for the both of you.

That is so great. What a scary time this has been for yall! Glad you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Wow he really is making a ton of progress just in the last couple of days. That’s amazing. I hope he keeps up the good work. Don’t let him walk outside so he doesn’t slip on the ice and hurt himself. That always scares me this time of the year with the older people I know.
