Latest from Craig.
Update --- Thanksgiving in an extended health care facility / nursing home is --- N O T --- the place to be .....
Yes, we did have Turkey as our lunch, but a) store bought package of turkey, not the real thing.... And b) not nearly enough... I am used to making the toilet beg for forgiveness the following day --- that is what men are supposed to do --- and no need for that...
And, the small piece of Pumpkin Pie, was easily the worst that I had ever had.... BOO ......
But, I am not here for the food.... And, the Football was pretty good, especially my VIKINGS beating the Patriots that night to rise to
9 - 2 !!!
Of course, the N F C Final Four, will be
1) Eagles vs. the 5) Cowboys &
2) Vikings vs. the 3) 49ers....
At that point, we'll see who can win 2 games to face MVP Pat Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs....
So, on to why I am here....
I have Physical Therapy 5 days a week --- Monday through Friday --- they are closed on the weekends, but I am not --- I am working 7 days a week....
In this facility's gym, I am placed on all the machines --- the hand and arm cycle machine, the ski machines , one for legs and the other for arms and legs, the weight lifting machine for arms, shoulders, biceps, and triceps, and walking inside the parallel bars and in the walker (as the wheelchair is brought behind me, God forbid, I would have to go down... So far, no incidents.... Whew !!!)
In the room, mornings, evenings, and weekends (my scheduled P.T. is 1 P.M. to 4 P.M.) I am doing the necessary leg lifts --- especially on the left leg --- straight up and out, in a marching formation up and down, and side to side....
When I got here, I could do ZERO, ZERO, and ZERO.......
I am now at about 8 " , 12 " , and 12 ".... A long way to go to get to where you guys are (try it), but I am not willing to be a vegetable....
Heck, it has almost been 3 months now, because if I do not hear from my lawyer today, I will be calling him tomorrow morning with the "friendly reminder" phone call Wednesday morning, because the deadline to file the " Cause to show Claim " to let the county and Police Department know that they are being sued is Friday, December 2nd... And we *** CAN'T *** miss that deadline....
Doing my " hand scrunchies " all day long --- this little thing you squeeze to strengthen the hands, wrists, and biceps --- and while I work the left hand twice as hard as the right, I've got a little
"Something Something" poppin' up on the right bicep !!!
When I get done with all this hard work, I am going to be able to flex and be able to tell the ladies " This way to the beach !!! "
Matt / DetMatt --- when you read this, can you do your magic to get this on to the "B" bodies site, also ?? Thank You .... I will talk to you soon.....
Everyone else, Thank You for your support, well wishes, Prayers, and more... It truly assists the process... God Bless us all ..... Especially during this upcoming Holiday Season....
(I *** AM *** going to get a Pumpkin Pie smuggled in here !!!!)
Yours, Craig.....
