Today was .... interesting. LOL Max was having trouble with his wheelchair so he had BRandon look at it. I think when Max raised the chair and pulled the cord, it may have messed a cord up. When Brandon tried to fix it, it broke... :o(
So Max had to get into a different chair and he really doesn't like it. They changed the control to his left hand and between the control and the left hand he was getting frustrated. He also was getting tired of the air bed he was on.
Last night he needed to have some stuff changed with his bladder. We started at 6:00 trying to get everything done but it was a night where everyone was busy and no one was coordinated. I ended up doing the majority off what was needed to be done but some of it I just couldn't do because I'm not really a nurse ;o) It was 11:00 pm before I got everything done so I could go to bed.
He got up this morning and really wasn't in a good mood. He didn't like the chair, he didn't like the bed..... Thank you Lord, his new bed top that was ordered came in today and they changed it out for him. Brandon tweaked the controls on the wheelchair and that made the chair work better.
This afternoon he was trying some new stuff ~ like the standing frame. Right now the biggest thing that is slowing us down is his back. He's really starting to feel it more.
We are back on track for renovations on the house. Waiting for things to happen with certain companies really slowed our progress down. We could have been done and not be worrying about if it will be done before he goes home. Oh well, he will be getting home one way or another.
He's sleeping right now, waiting for supper to come. He's supposed to talk with some occupational students around 5:30 about his injury and what he's going through. Hopefully that won't take to long because his Mom and sister are coming down to see him.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a much better day!
