Wheelin' Around...

Today was another step closer to Joe's recovery. The physical therapists came by and got him in the wheelchair again today. He's able to help a lot now and it gets easier for him with each try. After he was in the chair the girls made him go for a spin. He really did not want to (he is happy just to sit) but they are great about pushing him to the limit. So, with each therapist carrying a wound vac he rolled himself down the hallway with me, mom and Scott in tow. We were snapping pictures for his "long road to recovery scrapbook". It was kind of like a mini- parade with Joe as the Homecoming Queen. All of the nurses, whom we know pretty well by now, were coming out with all sorts of comments "hey now, look at you!", and "wait a minute, what's this your wedding are you coming for your bride?" (referring to a young, cute nurse waiting at the end of the hallway. Needless to say, everyone was impressed with this big step that my dad has made. He continues to amaze us. Keep up the great work, Popes! We love you!
Love,
Stac
