Hello again...

I don't have a lot to add. But primarily say "thanks." It seems like most people that I talk to are impressed with the progress that I've made. So, I wanted to say "yes, I am coming along quite well. And, thank you all for your prayers."

I can now:
- Button my jeans
- tie my shoes
- pick up cards / papers
- use two-handed tools (ie. rake/shovel)
- wash dishes (I did break one though)
- and last but not least, Saturday night I played a few chords on guitar.
(nowhere near ready to play at the Fillmore East, but it's a start.)

So those are some big milestones I wanted to share and again, say "thanks".
I go back to Clev. on Monday. Hopefully, This whole thing ends right there.

Hey All

So I've been home a little over a week. I've been making incremental improvement with the hand an arm. I continue to get independence in each finger and strength is coming along. an that's with just some home exercises. I go in for my first Occ. Therapy appointment tomorrow morning. I'm very excited to get that started. I hope that really speeds up recovery. I'm sorta getting tired of typing with one hand and not being able do a lot of mundane tasks around the house.

More excitement. I get the stitches removed today. That will be great. I wont scare little kids and old women when I go out of the house any more. At least no more than before. I think I'll have to give it a couple days, but I'll be able to buzz the scalp again too. That will feel good.

I still get worn out pretty easy, but I think that's just kinda OK for now.
That's probably where I notice th most improvement. I do get better at that every day, I probably do a bit much because of it and the wear out. but I think that's why it's improving.

So there's the update,
Type at ya later,
T
