# 5 and a REALLY good day

Hello- Melissa here. George is in his totally flat and still phase after getting his spinal injection today at around 5pm. He is doing well- he is wide awake and positioned under the tv. Though he is dying to use a pillow he is hanging in for another couple of hours. He wanted everyone to know that he had an AMAZING day today in rehab. He felt so good and he did so well today- he was just beaming at his progress. His balance and walking were the best I have seen him since we have been here. We walked on lunch and got foot massages again, and this time we also got the neck, back and arms. My guy seemed to think I was extra tense on my arms and spent a lot of time pulling and twisting my arms. At one point I actually was worried they might break!

Sorry we missed writing yesterday. George had an ok day. We went for a walk at lunch and him and Garry got straight shaves! Here are some pics.




After that we went for a trip to McDonald's for a taste of home. When we got back George had a bad headache so went down late for therapy and got some acupuncture to help his head. Here is a picture of the treatment he got.


He also made it to OT (Occupational Therapy) where they massaged his head and neck and got rid of the headache. We went for dinner with our Aussie friends as they are leaving tomorrow. We are not looking forward to them going, they have made this experience so enjoyable and we have had so much fun with them. Bye Garry and Rachel-we will miss you!
