This morning’s x-ray resulted in the Dr.’s exclamation that the bone "looks fantastic."  It has healed so well and I am a very happy camper.  The appointment included the last physical therapy session, the last of the boot, replacement of the crutches with a cane, and a new ankle support called an air cast that is light and can be worn with a shoe!  Hooray!!  I can’t wait to sleep without that big old boot.  Actually, I should be grateful for how well it has worked!

My temple shift, thankfully, was light and I spent it in the office recording the finished ordinances.  It was busy enough that the sessions were running every 30 minutes with six endowment rooms filled nearly to capacity.  Every area of the temple was busy and I was happy to have a safe seat from which to work and stay out of the way.  It was the first day with the cane and there was a learning curve.

Glade didn’t go again today.  The typical residual cough hangs on and although he feels better, still isn’t up to par.  He is bored and feels guilty about not being in the temple to do his share, but there isn’t much choice.    

Glade talked to the broker who arranges the car transport and we have a tentative pick-up time for Friday morning.  The truck is coming from Baltimore which is about 45 minutes away.  However, a storm system is predicted to bring in 60 mile-per-hour winds tomorrow, so the schedule is pending as per the weather.  We are going to be a little lost without our car and will have to get rides to and from the temple, to church on Sunday, and to the airport on Monday.  It is all packed with our 100-pound allowance and ready to roll!

We are so grateful for our blessings and for this great experience.  It has gone by way too fast.  However, it is always great to go home.

Love, hugs, and prayers to all of you.  😊
