Day 35: Wednesday - Getting better and being meta

Charlie is reading the blog.

I feel like if anyone wants to know what people mean when they say "that's meta" people can use the example of me sitting here in this hospital room writing a blog post about Charlie reading a blog about Charlie.

It was a really good day here. Our morning routine went very well even though I was on a conference call that started at 8. At 9:30 he walked to his therapy (he had been using his wheelchair but taking his walker and often walking back) and was full of joy each time I saw him. The desk I set up for myself here looks out through the door and I saw him walking by during his physical therapy session and heard him chatting. I wanted to burst out and say hi, like when I went to their school's field day and I was the mascot: 

I didn't, though. I sat at my makeshift desk and felt quietly proud. There was a girl that was here who would walk the loop of the floor with her walker a lot. I remember thinking "why is she here if she can walk that well?" Then she left and we took her room. I don't think we are very far away from people thinking the same about Charlie. I probably need to take him walking laps rather than snuggling on the couch.

We'll do laps tomorrow.

Back at home, Henry remains symptom free and Aly remains full of all the symptoms. 

PS - As I have been writing, Charlie has been barking out editor's notes to me as he goes through the archives.
