Taylor had rehab yesterday....no grilling out on Memorial Day for him. I watched him use the walker at a pace twice the speed I saw last time. He can walk at a "mall crawl" speed - about 1/2 the speed of a normal walking speed. He also did (2) 5 minute rounds on the treadmill at .8 mph. They're working up to a 1.8 mph goal.
He also got to eat an individual serving of applesauce to exercise his throat muscles, and washed it down with a thickened apple juice. He describes it as "apple flavored motor oil" ...it's about the same consistency, maybe a little thicker.
Taylor had 4 visitors yesterday afternoon who spent a couple of hours with him.....the J's and a K....Justin, Jason, Jordan and Kaitlin.
Every time on of the crew comes to visit, I hear another "Taylor story" that makes me cringe. It's becoming clear that Taylor's life was not unlike a Jackass movie.

Wow, I can't believe how well you're doing! How come they can't thicken the Gatorade for you? Or would Lime flavored motor oil just ruin it for you forever? Maybe it's best to just wait...and it won't be long if your record is any indication! Keep working---we're all behind you in Ohio!

Taylor, you are going to be up to "cruising speed" in no time.
We are heading to our cottage in MI for a couple of weeks. Will tune in when we get back. Keep on trucking!
Love, Mel
