1st Day Rehab

Today was Karen's first full day of rehab plus dialysis so she is pretty worn out tonight. Every day (except Sunday) she has about 3 hours of rehab starting around 7:30am and finishing mid afternoon (with some breaks during that time). She has three different types of therapy every day: physical therapy, occupational therapy, and "activities of daily life".

They are pushing her hard which she needs but is a bit stressful for her. It also makes her more aware of her deficiencies and how far she has to go. In spite of this she has a good attitude and working hard.

I am so glad to have professionals watching her closely and observing the little things that the doctors missed when they buzzed in/out. Before, I felt that a lot of that fell on me!

So far we are very pleased with the Sticht Center and feel that she is exactly where she needs to be. The people here have been great.
