Off to Riverview for 9 am to take Larry to his neuro-ophthalmologist appointment for 10am. It's in the same clinic as Kodi's neurologist, so I knew where I was going. Still drove right past it though :P
Very thorough testing revealed what we suspected - the left side of both eyes have deficits. The dr. thinks it will get better as time goes on, so we go back in 2 months. It took way too long, so we couldn't head out for an anniversary lunch. *sigh* oh well.
Back in time for Larry to eat some lunch, and then downstairs for therapy. I got his times mixed up, and he didn't fully read his paper with the times written down, so we had his splint on and then his OT came in and told us that OT was at 2:00. LOL She laughed at me when I said "I" had the times wrong, not Larry.
Over the weekend, he'd mentioned to me that he wasn't going to say anything to his OT about the extra week. He's okay with it, but not going to bring it up. She brought it up to me, and I told her he was okay with it...but she had to mention it to him and have HIM say okay.
His PT checked his shoulder to see if there were any issues, and of course it didn't hurt at all where she was prodding. Which is a good thing - means it's only muscle pain, not anything bigger. They're really focusing on his left arm/hand/shoulder now, because his balance is pretty good and so is his walking. As his leg strengthens up, his gait should get better and better.
Off to OT, and Larry had a GREAT day! He was able to grasp the nerf balls about 70% of the time, which is so much more than even last week :D
His OT mentioned the extra time, and Larry agreed to one more week...but that's it!
We also found out that his splint will be in on Wednesday :) So, busy day on Wed. We get his splint, have the family meeting (discharge, and all that goes with it) and then therapy. whew.
While it sucked that Larry was in Riverview for our anniversary, we got to spend it together. That's what's important!
