Occupational Therapy!

Message from Caren:  "Caren Robinson

The appointment today with the Ortho guy plus still having this concsussion equalled me in am equally emotionally weepy disagreeable mess because I wasn't understanding his terms and jargon.He was saying I was healed and released. I was like "I can't wipe my own butt (admittedly not the word I used),, raise my own arm lay in bed without pain,or hug youngest child and you call this healed????" Why was everyone looking so okay and calm by this? Then even with further explanation from the nurses and mom..it took me almost the whole ride in the ambulance back to the rehab center to get it. Seriously this brain needs to catch up a bit faster or I will be crying a lot more. However, I got the cast off. I can begin Ortho therapy because the scapula and ribs are solid enough to do so - but to keep in mind another 3-6 months for the ribs to be in pain and another 6 months to a year for the scapula to cease the pain. More later about Insurance, work, and anything new and exciting.....thanks you all for your love, prayers, and support."

By the way, late Friday OT swooped into Caren's room to start ROM (range of motion) on her R arm/shoulder.

Saturday afternoon is fill with OT exercises.  Just try telling the Universe how badly you want to go home.  Your desires will be abundantly fulfilled!  Caren now has OT, PT, and ST - and, we're not talking vegetable soup!

*shaking pom-poms and cheering, "You can do it, CAren!"*
