Travis Tuesday

The good news keeps coming…

Author Bio Pic

Today I am being discharged into out-patient therapy from the Day Rehab Program. I will see a speech therapist once or twice a week (I'm told there is homework), basically it's far less intense; and I have completely been discharged from occupational therapy. The things I need to work on I can do on my own...needless to say I'm pretty stoked.

I feel like my speech is improving every day, though Karla and my folks/family tell me they can barely, if at all, tell a difference. I think it has more to do with getting my confidence back than anything. I've come a long way, and I have long way to. But I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of tunnel. And that my friends, is a nice feeling ;)

This past Friday afternoon I went into the office to pay a visit to my friends/co-workers...it was simply amazing to see everyone! The love and support I have received from them far exceeds anything I could have imagined...I am eternally grateful.

Radiation...it is what it is so far. Just had my ninth treatment this morning...but I think the fatigue factor and the steroids I'm on is affecting my sleep. I'm going to bed right after the boys (9ish...abnormal)...which is all fine and well because I feel so drained...but the steroids won't let me fall into a deep sleep (common side effect). I can't sleep for more than and hour or two at a time.

As mentioned by Karla in the previous post, please save the date May 15 and join us at Barry's Bar & Grill for celebration!! Plan on 7pm...more details to come.

Have a great day and be well...TB
