Hi! Haven't posted in a while. Dad has recently begun using a walker with
wheels to get around. He was using a walker without wheels, but Mom noticed
that all he was doing was carrying it around with him. He got one session of
physical therapy on how to use the wheeled walker. I will ask him tonight when
I talk with him on the phone who his PT is and where they are located
(probably somewhere around Warren/Niles, OH area).
Dad has also had the second of the collagen injections for low voice. I'm
hoping that the effects of this most recent injection will last longer, as Dad
seemed to lose his voice again almost immediately after the first one. I'm
wondering if Speech therapy would help- don't know if he's "forgotten" how to
produce the sounds loud enough-and was thinking that this and the injections
might help him remember. Any suggestions are welcome. Trish
