Today Phil finished his week of caregiving and returned home. Thank you so much Phil for your help! My brother arrived soon afterwards for his second tour with me. It has worked out quite nicely to stay in the 75th St apartments as opposed to the lodging at Hope Lodge. We are in a residential area, close to many shops and restaurants, and are within walking distance of the hospital. The apartment itself has enough room to give each of us some space.
It appears the hot temperatures will be returning to NYC this week for a couple of days, but it should cool off later in the week. I continue with my exercising to regain strength, but tweaked a muscle in my left shoulder so will have to take it easy for the next several days. I guess I am not as flexible as I used to be. I also started some small sets of Tabata intervals to build cardio and will work to increase the duration of those workouts.
