Today was my third visit at Samaritan's rehabilitation facility. The therapist I had been assigned is on vacation this week, so Sandie, the therapist I worked with last year, is filling in for her. She is very encouraging and thinks my 104 degrees of flexion is very good. I spent 5 minutes on the exercise bike, and I found it encouraging that I was able to ride with no problem, though no resistance either. I don't care about building muscle; I just want to be able to do something for exercise.
Several signs were posted at the desk, informing that after August 18, the facility will no longer exist at Samaritan, but will be moved to the Massry Pavilion on Hoosick Street. Everything medical is changing and being consolidated. Hospital employees are suffering from low esteem, I'm told, not knowing where they may or may not be working next. A change for the better goes the mantra, but maybe that isn't true of all change. Time will tell, or maybe it won't.
