Home now..

Was a good visit.. got to hang out with some old friends.. if you r reading this you know who you r.. lol
anyway.. Luc is doing really well.. he doesnt sound so robotic.. he is able to open his left hand some now.. able to walk a fair distance(still with help but thats better than nothing)
All in all im pretty impressed with him.. He isnt as impressed with himself as i am with him.. but he is stuck there all day everyday.. feeling like its taking too long... getting frustrated.
:(
My poor hubby.
:(
I miss him. The hospital he is in has sent out a request for him to be transfered to the long term rehab center in ponoca(spelling).
just between edmonton and red dear.
Hopeing, fingers crossed. Even if they accept him into their program it may take quite a long time for him to be able to actually go there. They are a Long Term rehab center.. meaning they may not have an open bed for a few months... i can imagine they may even not have room for him for up to a year..
I fear that.. means it will take that much longer for him to get the rehab he needs to function normally in society.
He did have a few outbursts while i was around.. Thankfully i talked him down from them.. Had one my first night in edmonton.. i wasnt there for it.. when i got back to the hospital from my hotel room, he was in the padded wheelchair in his room with the lights dimmed..(trying to calm him down by making him sleepy?)
He had the outburst right at the start of dinner... so he hadnt eaten..
I took him to the other hospital(royal alex) thru the tunnels and bought him a burger..
Took him out for dinner every night i was there. He seemed to enjoy it.
I really really hope he is accepted into the long term rehab.. :)

Anyway.. Karma had fun with her grandma and pa while i was in edmonton. She kept grandma up pretty much every night.. didnt want to sleep for some reason..
Poor grandma... lol
She didnt seem to miss me too much.. lol... but when i got back she immediately wanted me to pick her up.. whenever i would turn around to walk away..(even to the bathroom) she started to scream..
poor little girl with abandonment issues.. lol :)
Thats all i have to report for now.
