Recovery News

Well, the cast came off one week ago and now I have my spiffy new brace which help keep it stabilized. I take the boot out of the brace for about 1-2 hours per day to start trying to move it and I actually have a little range of motion, not much but a little is better then none, right? I will go back on April 10th and I'm hoping to start physical therapy shortly after that so I can start walking again. I am off of work until, at least, my next appointment and I'm not sure if I'll be back at that point or when I can walk unassisted that will be up to my employer. I will try to keep it updated as we go.

Tree House for sale

Frank and I hope to have the "tree house" ready for sale by end of month. Pray that the market is good for just another few months so this house sells quickly. I found lighting for the kitchen/dining area last night and was oh so happy to get that done. The table light in the dining area was our first anniversary present and that is coming home with us. So, new lighting was in order. Plus we found new pendant lights for over the new kitchen island that my wonderful, skillful, talented husband built. Gonna look so cool.

We are waiting for the next two weeks to plant grass and see the sun shine. I really miss the sun in the winter and look so forward to having a sun-drenched cabin to live in now.

Animals are fine. Lost dear Maggie on 2/26 after only having her in our lives for about 9 months.
But, she had a good time and we enjoyed her being around. What a ball of energy up until the day she passed away. Just as cute as a button.

Tell the kids I said hello and I hope to come up to Fort Wayne to visit in late March or
early April. I will bring the secretary with hutch when I come if I can. LY, Me

Surgery buzz

Well, I had my surgery on Friday Feb 29th. According to the doctor, since I was asleep the whole time, it went very well and I have a good repair. They told us that I should have very good luck with it and my chance for reinjury is very small indeed. I have about 15 staples in two different spots on the back of leg holding everything together while it heals and a brand new shiny cast to keep it still, it's even blue...yay. I will go back in Tuesday, March 12th to have the cast taken off, the staples removed and be fitted with some kind of brace. Though I am still confined to bed the pain has subsided some and I seem to be on the road to recovery.

I just have to say that if it wasn't for my wonderful wife this would not be going nearly as well. She has been fantastic in taking care of me and making sure I don't violate any of my restrictions, not that I ever would.... Thank you my love for everything you do for me.
