Day 40 - Aug 10

I suspected it would be a hot day when it felt like an oven on my 5:00 am run. It was not only hot, but also humid. Both Jake and I missed the more temperate summers in Vermont.

There was much for Jake to accomplish today. Early morning check-in with the Sarge. Look for mail in his box. Did some stretching and aroebic work in physical therapy. Met with the Sarge later in the day to sign papers. Was examined for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in the Physical Medicine facility. Visited the PX. Consulted with his Nurse Case Manager. Went to SFAC to get a new ID card. Almost every one of these activities required us to move from one building to another through the thick heat of the day.

Jake and I are busy. He is doing so well. His pain level is low throughout the day. He works on his physical therapy exercises (much hard work left to do) on his own. His spirits are good and sense of humor bright. He is receiving good care and attention here, but we sure miss Vermont's temperate weather.
