(Wrote this earlier and forgot to post it. Oops!)
Just thought I’d give you a little glimpse into my world and update you an my wife, Chris. We saw the surgeon on Thursday and everything looked good. The staples were removed and physical therapy sessions set up for the coming month.
I’ll be helping with the therapy so that she doesn’t have to go to the clinic every day. Things are gradually getting back to normal, or should I say, our NEW normal and we’re settling in for the long term.
She’s still not sleeping very well, but a little more each night. Like a quit, the results for these things are gradual. On the upside, her left arm is getting quite strong because of the use! I told her she may in the end be one who uses both hands equally, like me.
For me it happened quite by accident because when I started finishing drywall, one tends to have to reach a lot. One day I realized that I was using both arms equally, without even thinking about it. This might happen with her as well. Who knows?
But anyway, everything is looking up so far. Just a matter of time at this point.
I hope you all have a wonderful, smoke free day! I know I will. I’ll be working in the garden today as we’ve finally had a string of great weather.
ONWARD TO FREEDOM!!!
Chuck
