Therapy had Bill do a stand-pivot to get from bed to chair. The stand part was great, a long hold, and Bill said he didn't get dizzy! That will mean a lot in being able to progress in therapy.
Bill has new shoes. He has lost so much weight that his old shoes were too big -- a lot of the bulk was water retention from high blood pressure, and he had much swelling in his legs and feet.
The trick was this: what size to get? Ayn had the great idea, let's start with a half-size smaller than his last shoes, and get another couple in decreasing half-sizes. Keep what fits, take the others back. And since I live relatively close to the Woodburn Premium Outlet, it was easy to hop into the Adidas store. Yes, I could have chosen Nike, Vans, Converse or one of 15 other shoe stores. Adidas was closest to where I parked!
Therapy seemed happy with the choice. Light enough, but supportive, enough traction without being too sticky.
I will exchange the other pairs for colors. Bill is interested in getting one in neon yellow and another in red.
