Today is Saturday at the 'Red Neck Rehab'. Pinky did her physical therapy on the P.T. table that Steve made for her. We got new exercises yesterday at rehab. At rehab they put her through a very vigorous workout, she did great, no matter how hard it is for her she does it, she wants to get better. Some of her exercise are to sit on the edge of the P.T. table and find her center of balance and sit by her-self with out any aid. She also has leg exercises and many arm and hand. For the last week Pinky has been experiencing muscle spasms in her hands and wrist this leaves her hand very stiff. The doctor yesterday upped her medication for this it seemed to help last night and today. Spasms, we have been told, are signals that the brain is sending information to her limbs but the signal is interrupted so the body spasms, to try jump start the connections.
My partner, Page is leaving us tomorrow for a week so the quality of the blog is most likely going to drop since he has written it up to now.

Kim received a card from Gene and read it to me over the phone, which got me to Pinky's Blog. Kim was unaware of what had occurred but I will fill her in on the details, and she will be back online next week. Please send my love to Pinky in addition to Kim, Conner, Kaeleigh and Kendall's love too. Her spirit for life and wonderful family will no doubt get her through this and she will be back to her zany self that we all love so much!
