Scott's Blog

Hello all,

I have now made the transition to St. Mary's, and it was more difficult than I had anticipated. This past week has been a tough one due to some medical complications, but I seem to be feeling better this weekend, so hopefully next week will be a better one. Overall it is going well, but it's very different than ICU.

I participate in Physio Therapy (PT) and Occupational Therapy (OT) for an hour each/day, Monday - Friday. They work me very hard and I am feeling it. Although I have not regained any new movement, I am getting stronger with the mobility I currently have, and am very focused on develping these muscles, particularly those in my right arm as this is where I have the most movement so far

I've had a few visitors, but visitors are welcome in the evening from 6-8 pm, and on weekends, any time after 10 am. For those who come to visit, or have visited in the past, I apologize if I am sleeping. This has been a big transition and I am feeling exhausted quite often, but I also enjoy seeing all of you, so please feel free to visit if/when you are able.

As for the fundraiser, Kirsty has been keeping me aprised and I have visited the fundraiser portion of this blog and can tell you it is very humbling. I would like to thank everyone who has sponsored/donated items for this event, as well as those who have volunteered their time to organize it. I am going to try very hard to get to the fundraiser, but my recovery will dictate whether or not this is possible. I am not currently allowed to leave the hospital unless it is for medical purposes, but I'm working on it, and will try my best to at least make an appearance.

So, thank you all so much for your continuous support of Kirsty, the boys and I - we TRULY appreciate it!

Scott, Captain of Team Milne
