Well the adage, "You get what you pay for" certainly applied to our experience at Bruyere rehab. He got his initial assessment as possibly taking some steps by the end of the 10 or 20 sessions. Well it turned out to be 9 sessions and no closer to walking. This, in my opinion was due to the fact that he had three different therapists who all had different ideas about treatment. Needless to say, at the end they said he didn't qualify for the extra lessons. So that's the end of them. Back to Neurologics where I believe he will continue to do well. Paratranspo was an interesting experience, cheap , terribly inefficient but very handy and I didn't have to drive downtown. We sure met some interesting people.
I got to have nine sessions of therapy, which was helpful. So the hope continues as we go into the anniversary month, I can't believe it's almost a year since this happened. His speech is improving a lot, he is happy and healthy, and has accepted the fact he will never drive and must sell the truck. We had some social occasions as we celebrated Aprils birthday and Easter and one family gathering. The shower got finished, which he loves and finally the weather is improving.
