I’m Out of Rehab
Good Day Ricochet,
Yesterday they decided I was strong enough to be released from rehab and I am back in my apartment. I can walk without the walker. I have good strength in legs and arms and a reasonable amount of balance. My endurance ability was what was in major question. The first week of rehab was depressing because I didn’t feel like my endurance was improving. Suddenly in the second week I began to come on. I could walk farther and still not be tired. I soon abandoned my walker and got my sea legs back.
I am still wearing the life vest. I must pass my cardiologist’s standards on heart function before he will let me free of the vest. I am confident I can do it now.
Thanks so much for all of your good wishes and prayers.
Regards,
Jim
Jim, that’s wonderful! Baruch Hashem! I send you lots of positive wishes and prayers for continued recovery! Welcome back. Shabbat Shalom
Welcome back!
Huzzah!
Great, great news. We need you here.
Thanks for checking in. I pray you will continue the healing and return to 100%.
Yay! Good to see you out of stir.
Uh-oh … he’s back …
Good thing, too.
Yay!
Glad to see you are back in the world of the writing.
I’m so glad to read this. :) It’s always good to get home. :)
Yippee! Shabbat Shalom, brave guy. Welcome back, you have been missed.
I’m trying to think of something nice to write, but it’s simply not in my nature.
As a substitute, I offer this video. Trust that it’s offered in the spirit of joy and welcome.
Wow! great stuff. Thanks for the intro.
Nevertheless, #HePersisted.
Happy news!
Rushala,
Shabbot Shalom to you.
Regards,
Jim
Mis,
I admit Ms. Winehouse exudes a certain earthy sultriness. However, if I had allowed such things to cloud my judgment, say rehab nurse Angela leaning over me to dress one of the wounds I have at 6 a.m., I wouldn’t have made it out. All in all, I think Ms. Winehouse would have been well advised to stay in rehab. To each their own.
Regards,
Jim
Heal baby heal!
God bless you – stay strong – looking forward to your regular contributions including giving Claire some lip.
Nothing like that first snort after a month of rehab… Sorry! Wrong rehab.
It’s a heart thing, right? I’m glad the wizard gave you more than just a watch, Tin Man. Those vests are pretty nifty, though I hope it never has to fire up as that sounds painful.
Hold on.
Wait.
OK…
Clear!
Zzzzzppp!
Ah! That’s better.
(Beep, beep, beep…)
(Pay no attention to the man behind the defibrillator.)
Glad things are getting better.
Welcome back!
‘Regards’ to you sir.
Doug,
So my first day in rehab I’m talking things over with my coordinator. I tell her that wearing the life vest is not my favorite thing. She recounts the story of when a patient came in with one. He takes it off to take a shower but doesn’t dry himself well enough. He gets to breakfast and in the dining hall it goes off. He’s whipping around like Frankenstein coming off the slab and then the blue goo comes out of the paddles and he looks like Bill Murray in Ghostbusters getting slimed.
After that, I took a good half an hour drying myself after showers.
Regards,
Jim
Your the Man!
Good news and good luck to you.
Such wonderful news! May you continue to make good progress.
Good to see you back! Hope your recovery continues as rapidly as possible.
So glad you’re back!
Ha! Slimed! Let’s try to keep that heart in check, undisturbed, and of all things, dry. We don’t want a messy short circuit.
May you “renew (your) strength; (you) shall mount up with wings as eagles; (you) shall run, and not be weary; and (you) shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
So many prayers and good thoughts for your continued recovery!
Power on Mr. Gawron.
It’s good to see You back, Jim. Truly. Yer participation has been sorely missed.
Regards,
Jimmy.
