walking man

Tom was up and at 'em today. Physical therapy came and got him out of bed and he walked (with a walker) 3 times around the room, then hit sat up in a chair for about an hour. He then took a long and well deserved nap! His is anxious to lose what he has termed the "rubber hose up his nose". He is going to downgrade to a smaller NGT (nasogastric tube for feeds). Other than that no major changes, oh except he is ready to have visitors now! So, those of you anxious to see him, he is in room 2107 on the south side of the building. And, for those of you who needed the hospital address it is: St. Vincent's Hospital, Room 2107, 123 Summer St. Worcester MA. And finally, for those of you who wanted to post comments on the blog...I think you may need to join google...this whole "blog" thing new to me. Good Luck. Thanks.

  2. As some of us Brits might say 'MINT'. If that doesn't raise a smile with Tom, then i'm sure Toby will see the funny side (if he reads the comments). Tom you're just going from strength to strength, you'll be out of there enjoying the sunshine before you know it. Onwards and upwards! suzanne (blackpool) x
