It's been a couple weeks... my apologies!
Roger is doing well! I have seen him a few times over the past couple weeks. He came to Reno for my boyfriend's birthday so we hung out downtown and enjoyed a couple drinks together and celebrated. He then came up on Valentine's day and we all went to the Atlantis buffet for dinner. In between he has had physical therapies, doctor's appointments and work. He saw a Urologist for his recurrent urinary tract infections and that is something that they are still working on. He went to the hospital in Carson City for a procedure and he hasn't gotten the results yet. They were testing the capacity of his bladder... I am still a little confused about this and kind of wish I didn't have to work so I could go to the doctor's appointment with him to see what in the heck they are doing with him. If this urologist isn't familiar with spinal cord injuries, they could be treating him like every other patient and we know that is not the case with Roger. So this is just something I have to keep an eye on.
Spoke with Roger today (he called me from a friend's phone since he lost his Valentine's day) and said the blister on his heel is about gone and the sore that was on his tailbone is completely healed! So that is very very good news. Now it is just preventing those kind of things from happening again!
Other than that, he is doing great! I am very proud of him! He said they got the transmission in his truck last night and he got hand controls last week so once his truck is running he will be out and about rock crawling. Something he absolutely loves to do so that will be awesome! I just love seeing that smile on his face! To this very day, it still hasn't sunk in he is in a wheelchair. I feel like when I talk to him on the phone or think about him, that thought doesn't cross my mind. But when I see him I am reminded of it. But as great as he is doing, I guess it is easy to forget. He is still the same ol' Roger that is for sure!
Love you all! Take care and be safe!
