One Day At A Time

Today Frank was feeling a little down to begin with. From his perspective he feels he's not progressing as quickly as he thought he would. This was after an hour of blowing on the "Inspiration Device" and a short walk. He found the walk too tiring and returned to his bed a little annoyed with himself. A visit from Beryl and Elizabeth shortly afterwards helped to put things in order.

He's now finding it easier to complete the "Inspirational" exercise (where he blows into the tube and three balls which are weighted differently and raised to the top of the test tubes). He's spending more time on this device than two days ago and is continuing to strengthen his lungs and heart.

He was quite pleased with his appearance when he checked himself out in the mirror. The Hospital Barber had visited earlier and had tidied him up. He thought he looked quite well considering what's happened over the last three weeks.

Frank came to the conclusion that he has been pushing himself too hard and too soon. He's decided to take a step back and take one day at a time. Frank's realised that a breakthrough will come but has to be patient...not something he's very good at being!

So by the end of visiting hours, Frank was a lot happier and relaxed. Plus a phone-call from Christopher helped as well!
