Yesterday, I went to see Turtleman at CMC Main. He received the green light to be moved to the new Rehabilitation Center next door. That was the first time he had taken a breath of fresh air since his admission in early August. He is still in a battle to recover and it’s a long road ahead. Please continue to pray for he and his family 🙏. A specific prayer would be for his appetite to increase. He has to start eating more to get through this PT. He thanked me for being there several times. Afterword’s, I went home and hugged my daughter and told her about my day. I feel guilty that I get to come home and love on my family. Does that sound crazy?  I wish I could trade a week with him so that he could come home, eat 3 meals a day, sleep in his own bed, love on his wife and kids and regain the strength to take on this battle. He just needs a break, but that’s not an option. Sorry, I’m just overwhelmed with emotions from my visit with him.

I set up a ten foot wide circle of four post cards with a specific exercise at each station. We did each exercise in a rotating order 3x’s. Then we moseyed to the nature trail while riffle carrying our coupons. Dropped them at the bottom of the hill and bear crawled up the hill, did 20 squats and moved over to the benches. There we did 20 triceps dips, then 20 incline merkins. Moseyed back to our coupons and  carried them back to base. Flip the cards over and there were 4 new exercises that we rinsed and repeated 3x’s.

With just a few minutes left, we did Mary for 3 minutes.

Good work men!

I’m looking forward to giving up PainLab next week to the new AO. Be there to fins out who!
