Dad is starting to show off for the physical therapist

First of all, Dad was awake this morning at around 8:00AM, and was awake through about 2:45 with just a wee bit of a snooze in the chair while waiting for the PT to show.  That's a first in months.  He was on the computer this morning, starting to dig into some of the mail from the past month, and just following up on things that he would have done on a normal day-to-day basis.  I went to grab lunch, and when I left, he was on the computer.  Unbelievably great to see!

Physical therapy was here when I got back, and when they came upstairs, she was shaking her head at how well he was doing after being in bed for six weeks.  He was able to get through 10 minutes on the treadmill (2.0 mph/6% grade) and five mins on the stationary bike and wasn't really out of breath at all.  He's REALLY tired now (and is now sleeping), but did a really good job.
