The Dr. appointment this morning was a little disappointing but actually about what I expected.  The bone is healing, but it is not time to give up the crutches.  Only a toe-touch of weight with a bent knee is allowed for now.  Tomorrow I have my first appointment with a physical therapist for exercises to strengthen and stretch the foot and leg.  There will be one more therapy session before next week’s Dr. appointment on Wednesday morning.  By the week after that, I hope to graduate to a full weight-bearing walk with the crutches and maybe the cane. 

Anyway, it still feels like a long haul.  I’ll get an air-cast for the foot and ankle just before we start home.  I don’t think that’s going to be very fun for a 36-hour drive 😊  There is no way I can help with any of the driving.  But I’m still smiling, appreciating the silver lining, and looking for all that I need to learn from this experience.

Glade had the long day in the temple today and now can look forward to a restful and less stressful Friday.  He is doing dishes now and snacking, trying to eat down the food in the cupboards so we don’t have left-overs. 

Another week-end is here already—seems like it was just Sunday and now another one is nearly upon us.  Enjoy!  Love you All 😊
