Today marks one week until we leave!!
I got Benjamin up and dressed all by myself again this morning. He had PT first. She massaged his shoulders and did some soft tissue shoulder strengthening. His therapists said Benjamin has the tightest shoulders they've ever seen....but they can only get better from here so it's all good.
He had OT and she showed me how to e-stim his shoulders. Then a black slick and shiny new chair introduced itself to us as Benjamin's new wheelchair. It's very new and pretty. We sat for the next 3 hours while the wheelchair man adjusted everything. We were excited about the new chair but it was a long 3 hours. The man got everything pretty much situated except he has to put an elbow block on the left arm rest. His arm keeps slipping back so he's had a little bit of trouble driving. That's supposed to get done sometime this week.
Afterwards he had massage therapy for his shoulders. He enjoyed that but he says they still hurt. We came back to the apartment and our friend, from Albany, Sara and her friend Ashley came for a visit. They were going to a concert tonight and came early to hang out. That was fun, we enjoyed company besides ourselves.
We have just been chillaxing since then. Wes just got here and we're still chilling. I posted some pictures earlier.
