Monday Visit

Walter had a visitor first thing this morning, his sister! Danielle's father-in-law had driven her in from Lynchburg to see him. Walter was truly happy to see her. Danielle brought Walter a stuffed cow to cheer him up.

She was there when his physical therapist, Mark Baker, showed up. There was some real pushing during that session. In the end Walt did a great job and Mr. Baker really did a terrific job of pushing and motivating him to get moving. Of course after all that activity it was time for a rest session.

Danielle took a ribbon and tied it on Walter's head 'Rambo' style. It was funny especially since Walter was asleep when she did it.

Danielle hopped up on Walt's bed since he was sleeping in the reclining chair and promptly went to sleep herself. They both looked so cute together. It reminded me of when they were both little.

She stayed until after his second physical therapy session. It really did cheer him up. As for me I headed back over to Pennington Gap to scrounge through the wreckage of Walter's car to see what could be salvaged as well as make a second trip to Wal-Mart for supplies.

I was able to get with the wrecker driver and scrounge around through the wreckage to find Walter's wallet. That was the one important article that had not been accounted for.

We were successful and found it on the driver's side under a bunch of stuff next to the driver's seat. It was a great relief to have it in hand.

Walter did pretty well for the rest of the evening, however he was extremely itchy. It probably was coming from the pain meds.
