Another kind of OT

We just got back from a great vacation to Alaska where we visited Nikki, Brian and Jack Jack. Mom and Dad were up there to so we all got to enjoy the awesome Alaskan scenery, some camping and fishing and a little bit of hiking. I definitely stayed on top of the OT workouts with the fishing, reeling in a 40 lb halibut and a 30 lb king salmon...what a workout! I also surprised myself and I think my sister by going on a mountain hike...definitely felt the burn in my calves and quads! Below are some pics of the trip!
Also, I'm in my last week of PT and actually graduated from OT today. My hand grip is finally stronger in my right hand again and all my strength test scores reached my goal levels! I also got released from my rehabilitation doctor today...so one by one I'm checking them off the list!

What wonderful news!! And the pics are just great, brought back memories, and wishful thinking. I guess we will have to settle for getting out the long-ago (15 years) videos and reliving them. Those are some fish!! I hear you kinda out-did the guys!

Took a trip to southeast Mo. this weekend and visited with the family there, didnt go to the wedding, but got to see most everyone.

Take care and God Bless. Love, Grandpa and Grandma Friga

We had a great time, too, Sis. Just wish it was a longer visit, but that's always the case. Great work on finishing therapy--I know you've worked really hard and you still amaze me with your quick recovery. Well, it's Friday morning so you know where I'm going and I wish you were going with me! Love you much! Nik
