Day 329 – Labs and PT Updates

Jeff’s labs this week were good.  A slow steroid taper can continue.  What a relief!

Last month, PT Mike told Jeff that April’s visit would be his last since he wasn’t making any progress.  Jeff knew that this last visit would involve a lot of testing and measuring.  He wasn’t looking forward to it.  PT Mike was pleased and surprised to see that Jeff’s passive motion was 15 degrees better.  This improvement warrants more sessions!  Jeff needs to continue doing his exercises to train his muscle to keep the scapula in place.  His scapula still pops out but not so much as it used to do. 

Jeff and his helpers have finished installing hardwood floors at Kerry and Theresa’s house.  Projects there continue to keep him busy.  Jeff bleeds and bruises easily.  Nevertheless, he is ready to start working some.
