Today began early for me. At approximately 7:50 a.m. my Occupational Therapist entered my room to watch my usual morning routine. Usually I'll be dressed by the time my T.A. comes in. She just watched and suggested some ways I could use my right hand more. My T.A. came in and I had my breakfast.
At 10 o'clock I had my Physiotherapy class. Today I went to the pool with two Dalhousie students who had been with me since the very beginning came up to escort me down. Luckily I had some swimming trunks ready to go. The pool was really warm and really fun. A shower and a drum lesson later it was time for lunch.
The afternoon consisted of a lot of time with my parents (unfortunately my mom didn't pick me up because she feels sick today) and a fair amount of surfing the web.
I think I will go to bed tonight with a big smile on. It was a good week.

Jared,
This is a voice from your past - it is Ms. Melody Hopkins from Grade 9. I have been following your blog on a weekly basis and was so thrilled to see that you are now writing messages yourself.
You have worked so hard and improved so much.. keep up the good work.
I am still overseas in Thailand and also have a blog of my adventures.. feel free to check it out.. http://thetfiles.blogspot.com/

You're Playing The Drums?!?!
How cool is that!
You're really becoming a musical GENIUS!
Proud of you very much!!
love, Megs (of the McKay variety)
Jared, it sure sounds like you had a great week. Lots of hard work, and fun too. We certainly smile when we read the blog each day and marvel at your recovery.
Are the drums something new? I think I have a picture of you with Mike playing trumpet in the Coldbrook school band.
Our best wishes to you and your Mom and Dad. We think of you all daily.
Keep up the hard work & have another great week this week!
