Rehab is helping

Rehab is helping Steve. He is happier being busy. He is building his strength and learning techniques to help him retrain his brain to compensate for the loss of sensation on his left side. Another benefit is that the stronger he is for the next chemo the more quickly he will rebound from its negative effects.

On the down side, if he does over one hour of therapy he tends to be overly tired. They are breaking up his schedule into smaller units giving him time to recover between sessions.

His schedule has been something like this:
Eat breakfast
Occupational Therapy: half hour
Physical Therapy: one hour
Sleep: 3 hours
Eat lunch
Occupational Therapy: half hour
Physical Therapy: one hour
Sleep: 3 hours
Eat dinner
