Next Stop: Rehab

I’ll probably be out of the hospital today, but won’t be going home. The next stop is rehab. Heidi found a place she liked yesterday, it’s also convenient for her and only about 30 minutes from the Cancer Treatment Center.

They haven’t allowed me to walk by myself yet, or do much of anything else on my own. The big fear is that I’ll fall, or otherwise move in a way that damages the surgical areas. Question: Do you have any idea how important your neck is, and how necessary for stuff that seems unrelated, like getting out of chairs? I sure didn’t, but have great respect for necks now.

When I’m healed enough from the surgery I’ll be able to continue cancer treatment, and the prognosis I keep hearing is 2 weeks. If I can get home in time to watch one of the Soul Miners shows, that would be wonderful. The last show is Feb. 18, so it’s kind of iffy.

Bye to all and thanks for support and prayers.

Helen

    If Helen makes it to one of the Soul Miners performances that will be extra special. If she doesn’t get back to town in time, we will be thinking about her nearly constantly, with brief breaks to remember what we are doing. Hang in there, Helen. Lots of love from the Guyots.

    Helen, you remain in my prayers. We hope to come to Chicago for the Centenary celebration. Maybe we will be able to connect! We plan to make it coincide the trip with a visit to the Block Center, if possible.
