Tuesday 6/6
Lots of work today. Michele had 3 hours of therapy before lunch. An hour of OT (occupational Therapy) working on dressing and grooming. A group walking class where she spent about an hour on her feet with the walker then an hour of PT (Physical Therapy) where she started climbing stairs and more walking. By lunch she was beat. After lunch went easier she had an hour of speech therapy evaluating her swallowing and exercising her throat, followed by an hour of recreational thereby where she did some ceramics painting.
Tomorrow is the the big day she's been looking forward to; She has her video swallow test at 8am. If she does good she can have that bottle of water she's been craving. She also has all her regular therapy plus they added a new hour of arm therapy to get the left side as strong as the right.
Her team has come up with a date that they think she will be ready to come home, June 21, it's not a lock just a target and could slide a little either way.

Michele,
I found these tips for putting on some meat. Please reference these and let's go for 150 lbs.!!

The Tips
Be sure about this. Once you get fat, it will be very difficult, even impossible, to change your mind and get back to your current size. If you have any doubts, read my article Deciding to Get Fat.
Don't eat too often...always skip breakfast, and even lunch if you can. But when you finally do eat, eat a lot. This will be easy, because you'll be really hungry. Also, your metabolism will have slowed down from your fasting; more of the food will be converted to fat.
Always set out a large variety of fattening food, more than you can eat. This will stimulate the appetite. Even if you can't finish, you'll eat a great deal.
Exactly what you eat is not so important. Eat the foods you enjoy the most, especially if they're fattening.
If eating lots of fattening food makes you feel nauseated, eat less of it. Gradually increase the the proportion of fattening food you eat until you can eat lots of it easily.
Don't eat too much! If you eat to the point of pain, overeating may become a chore and become harder and harder to do. Have fun!
Drink some alcohol whenever you overeat. This will encourage the body to store the extra calories as fat. It will also make it more fun to stuff yourself.
A "Feeder", usually a lover who wants to see you gain, will be of great use. Make sure your Feeder reads this article and helps you follow all the tips.
It also helps to find an 'Eating Buddy', someone else who also wants to gain. You will eat more if other people are eating with you.
The best eating buddy is one who is fatter and has a bigger appetite than you do, to provide you with a good example.
Only grocery shop when you're hungry. You will tend to buy fattening food, and more of it.
Get some exercise, but not too much.
To check your progress, measure your thigh at the fullest part. This is a much more reliable measure of fatness than weight or belly measurements, which can change depending on how much you've eaten or (for women) the time of the month.
Don't try to hide those extra pounds...it won't work anyway. Wear them proudly!
Never apologize for your appetite.
Never apologize for how much you've gained.
Never apologize for how big you are.
If people comment on your weight, just shrug and say you really like to eat.
Warning: You may enjoy this more than you expect! Don't be surprised if you end up fatter than you're contemplating now.
