Update on my situation.
My husband (also deals with a brain injury) has been recovering from a successful cancer surgery. He has a soft spot in the center of his sternum as they removed bone. He has to be careful about not pulling or pushing. He is learning how to use the laptop LOL and enjoying finding out the joys of frustrating things that happen online LOL He loves movies and shows and I'm glad he is having a good time. Because of his brain injury he is limited in some ways.
I have started cardiac pulmonary rehab to build up my body for surgery. I have been told I need to lose a hundred pounds before they will consider me for a lung transplant. So I am now working on rehab which is exercising under a nurse's supervision and will be working with a dietitian and my dr to get my weight down. So LIfe goes on!
