Signs of Strength
“Remember, this is a guy who's been in control, even in the hairiest of conditions, throughout his career.”
Slowly he is taking back control. The physical therapist came in today to put Leroy through his paces. Why are these people always so tiny?
They were doing leg lifts and stretching, and she decided it was time for Leroy to go from the chair back to the bed. He took one look at her and said, "You'll need help!"
So we called in his nurse, who is an ace at this. They counted to three and were prepared to do most of the lifting when Leroy took control and made the move.
A sign that the strength in his back and legs is returning? Yes. But more important, it's that old drive that I haven't seen in a while.
Remember, this is a guy who's been in control, even in the hairiest of conditions, throughout his career.
One little pivot from a chair to a bed.
This is a day to remember.
