my husband is off the oxygen



he's still pretty tired but he's moving in the right direction. he's going to touch base with the doc monday about going back to work part time and that is a giant relief since we've been existing on my pay and a bit of help from our folks.

i've started combing through the claims and, once they're organized, i'm going to have to call the insurance company because some of the stuff does not look right to me.

i know he's still a bit off from a full recovery but this is great news.

It might be a little premature to go back to work since he's only just off the O2. Suggest he take a week or two to take walks and increase the distance he walks every day. When he can walk for half an hour, he's ready to go.

take quite a while for him to feel 100% again. Wanting to get back to work is great news. Forward progress!
