Update on Bob - 7 months later - a local success story


It has been 7 months since Bob’s accident and he has really come a long way, farther than any of us would have ever thought he would. It has been a really hard road for him but he is determined, he wants to be able to go back to work and be who he was before the accident. When he first came home he could not even sit up, feed himself, understand what was going on or even communicate well with us.  He never made it to the rehab facility that he was suppose to go to but with home health and now out patient therapy he is walking with the use of a cane and getting around pretty good. We have gone to Copper Fire Bingo, Bret Hart Football Homecoming game and even the Cow Pie Social last weekend. What really tickles Bob is when we run into some of the firefighters and paramedics that were there at the scene, he is so thankful for all they did and he gets a chance to thank them.  I personally think he gets a kick out of seeing how amazed they are at how good he is doing.  He still has a long road ahead, he needs to have his left knee replaced but he has to wait for the bones to heal more.  Hopefully after the surgery he will be able to walk without assistance but when it comes down to it at least he has both legs to stand on and he is here with us.  I would love to thank everyone for their caring and support.


With warmest regards,
Bob and Cindi
