Tim spent most of the day in a manual chair, but by 6PM had to give it up due to a sore neck. I'd say that's pretty good, though. We spoke to Tim while he was enjoying a late summer evening outside with John & JP and Noir, of course. Thirty minutes on the Locomat was the highlight of the day, and Tim feels like everything is starting to pay off - more muscle control in his left leg and his right thumb feels stronger. The newest bit of news (to me, anyway) was that he can now roll his left ankle inside and out.
He had a nice visit this morning from Matt and Tyler, on their way home from Maine. Several cards and notes from friends and family came in, including some scratch tickets from the Stevens, and cards from the Baldwin catering crew and the O'Malley's. He says there's more, but couldn't remember. We'll check it out tomorrow. I let him know about a couple of phone calls he got. Last night I had a nice chat with Nicholas, an old pal from Boy Scouts and Butternut. Today, Dr. Kantrowitz gave a ring to check in on Tim and was pleased to hear of the progress and let us know about an interesting new wheelchair technology he had heard of.
We said good night, looking forward to this weekend's big road trip. He sounds great, very positive - thanks to everyone for keeping in touch with Tim.
