working through it..

Jon has decided to work thru the pain..he's still at a 9 out of 10 pain wise..it hasnt changed..they did up the baclofen which has made him nauseas ALL over again..so were just waiting for his body to get use to it again..
he did go to his therapies..the first one was in his power assist wheelchair..he was able to go uphill in it..but was so ready to vomit he kept having to go near the grass just in case!!
they also put him in a standing lift thing..they strapped him in and had him standing up..but he blacked out for 30 seconds...not good!
we did more trainig with a hoyer lift..but jon is SO small right now..that he kept slipping thru it - thats REALLY not good! they all said..well thats never really happened before!!
then they trained me on "floor recovery"..which means if jon falls onto the floor..how i use a sheet or blanket to get him back up...jon asked "do we really need to worry about that?" the therapist said.."well ya it happens all the time"..jon said "oh great!!??" then she said .."well i mean it happens a lot here in the hospital"..jon said "oh thats even better yikes!! i would have thought this was the safest place!?!" it was pretty funny...
then they were wheeling him off to recreational therapy..which jon just tries to be nice thru..its to help them feel normal and good i guess..i think today he's making a card!??! jon just im sure inside is wanting to roll his eyes- but we all know jon he's such a good sport about everything!!
this friday they are taking me and jon and another injured couple to the movies..and then somewhere to eat after..so that will be fun..i have to be there at 1030am..so anyone able to be with the girls that day that would help me out!
then saturday they they are releasing jon again for 4-6 hours to take him home here to see how we'd do having him home here..i think that will REALLY make jon happy!! so were probably going to try and keep it low key and quiet around here..it will be the first time he'll be home in 6 weeks..i cant even imagine what that will be like for him...
today when i went in..he was shaking from the pain..he had teared up too..he told me he wasnt mad or frustrated about the pain..he's just needing to go thru it..and it hurts..i felt SO helpless! i ended up scooting him over so i could lay next to him..i was SOOOO tired..i got to bed late again because at night im looking up a million things online about his injury and everything involved..then up again with the girls..then i forget to eat most times..today i was getting a headache which i NEVER get..and i was so exhausted..so we took a nap for 20 minutes..he loved having me in the hospital bed with him..i told him me and the girls were taking turns apparently when we get home! the girls each want to sleep with him too..
just keep praying for his mind and spirit with this pain..and that one of the medications will work..that will find the root of his pain and be able to treat that root..he truly feels he just needs to go thru the pain to heal..that its part of the healing..so pray that his healing isnt too much for him..he's REALLY in good spirits about things - and that im thankful for..
