Physical Therapy

I spent the day at my parents' today with my dad. The nurse came this morning to listen to his heart and take his blood pressure. She said he seems to be doing well. Then, we went to the bank and to lunch. We walked a lot, and he seemed to be fine. He speeds up when he walks for long distances, which makes him get out of breath, but if he doesn't walk too far, he seems to do fine. He definitely needs to walk with someone else for now though. The physical therapist came this afternoon and did a whole bunch of exercises with him, including throwing and catching a ball (pillow) which he did every time. She also worked on his posture. Hopefully he will start out patient physical therapy soon, which I think he will really enjoy.

Enjoy the weekend everyone, and thanks!
