Day 219 - Friday July 20, 2012

Today was a great day.  First we saw Dorothy and then Bridgett and I went to eat at Charlie Wong's, where Jenn used to work.  Next we saw Brian Miller and that went especially well.  Brian is just great!  His office people were very kind and there were no disapproving stares at us.  Brian was impressed with how strong Bridgett is--just think how strong she was!  We talked about her lungs hurting when she jogs.  He said the lungs may have been damaged from everything or maybe just conditioning will help.  He said to have her do the NuStep every time we come in and before we leave to help build her endurance. Her balance was good.  He also worked on her neck.  He agrees that it is just hurting from muscles because of the neck brace she wore so long.  He said that before the next appointment or when we feel comfortable about it--to have her wash her own hair and then if she is stiff he can work out the muscles and take care of it before it gets out of hand.  Good idea!  I'm game to try!  We talked about her wreck and he says what all this info means to him is that her face and head took all of the force of the impact.  Every once in a while I think about the moments before impact and the terror she must have felt knowing what was happening and I can't stand that.  I try not to think about it.  Anyway as we left the office Bridgett said is he supposed to be ridiculously nice---because he is!!  I said yes he is supposed to be ridiculously nice!  One of his assistants overhead and gave a little chuckle.  Hopefully she will pass that on to Brian!
