I have thought of decubitus, I have thought of a lot of things. He is doing great in rehab and already doing some ADLs like dressing himself,feeding himself, learning how to get up when he falls over because he doesn't have "trunk" control, he can self cath himself too. Well--why not get him back to as much of a normal life as can be? He can transfer into a wheelchair, and drive a golf cart and here go anywhere. Meet the public- go to the square listen to music, go to the bank, movies, etc. So, I am trying to think of as much as possible.
I met a man in Naples with the same exact injury, he was traveling alone, exploring Florida while on summer vacation from Canada, where he teaches....he was hip and happening....
We met while awaiting entry onto a sunset cruise, he sat by my cousin, Debra (she is a talker) LoL.. As I listened I learned soo much, its good to keep your mouth shut at times...
My cousin had his email...They corresponded for awhile, his name is Clyve..from Canada where he teaches... I will ask for his email....
