Today I met a women who recently had a brain tumor removed and now she has an infection. The older women had sang at little theater on the bay, and now is restricted minimal activities. She at all times wears a padded helmet, which is very well decorated I may add, due to the fact that she has a small section of her skull missing. Although she is under these circumstances, she is an incredibly positive person. Meeting this woman, really made me stop and think about my friend trent, who is 22 and has just been diagnosed with his second brain tumor and is having surgury the first of the year. This tumor however is 3X the size of the tumor he had when he was 13, although he is continuing to log and work on his families ranch.
I also got to help out introduce a gym member to different equipment and make sure the weight was the correct weight for her. One of the other patients that I help on a regular basis was also in today and we showed her some new exercises, including doing the ladder, and also stepping over cones that were place on the ladder. It is great being able to see how much she has improve since the first time she came in. Besides that though, my day was pretty normal.
