To respond to various things from this and the other thread…
@Twostep you've given some great ideas! I installed the toilet seat with arms yesterday. That’s made things much easier transferring him to it when needed.
We already have motion activated night lights, and I’ve taken up all the rugs, including the bath mats. I ordered the shower protector a couple days ago as I was trying to forward-think all that would be needed, along with shower chair/transfer bench.
Jury is still out on the bear spray, but it’s becoming increasingly tempting!
@AnnieA @papa tiger you mentioned the iwalk device. Ortho wants us to wait a while for that. Even though it’s his heel that’s broken, there’s a lot of swelling at the knee and up his leg from the impact, and putting any pressure on his knee till that’s resolved isn’t a good idea.
@Redrose @Remy he initiated a conversation with the PT guy about being able to continue to work out on our home gym. They discussed some modified leg exercises because he can’t do any weight bearing leg workouts currently, but there’s no problem continuing with all the upper body and core strength training.
@jujube im not sure if you’re talking about the iwalk device others have mentioned and I talked about, or a knee scooter. I’m picking up the scooter today.
He used a walker with two front wheels at the hospital and that was helpful. They ordered one for him which should get delivered today.
He’s having to rethink his wardrobe
Had no idea we’d have to be digging out his loose summer shorts in this 30 degree weather we’re currently experiencing! None of his jeans fit over the bandages. His joggers have a skinny cuff so that won’t work. Also, he’s so bruised and contused everywhere that loose clothing is a must.
There’s a lot we’re figuring out as we go, even to things like having to switch which sides of the bed so there’s room for the wheelchair and he’s closer to the bathroom!
And so very happy about that!
