Moving right along

Yesterday was my third week out from the TKR and I am moving right along. I have managed to walk without my cane with out a problem. Today will be my last day with Home Physical Therapy. I will miss April my PT. She has been great. But, I am looking forward to going to out-patient therapy, just to get out of the house and to be able to work on some of the equipment. I even was able to get into the little "Mitzi" and hit the gas and brake pedal without a problem. I will soon be able to drive . I still have some pretty good pain episodes, but they are getting less bothersome as the healing continues and when some of the nerves wake up it really gives me a super electrical zinger. Ouch! We had snow again yesterday afternoon just a predicted and it is cold about 24 degrees this morning.

Planning on going to church Sunday and enjoying our Madison's 11th birthday family party. My sweetheart thought we should go out and celebrate my progress. It was good to just get out of the house and enjoy the sun and nice lunch with my BigRed. We went to Taco Bell (one of our favorite ) I feel like I have been so blessed with wonderful husband and dedicated daughter. Heidi has been great to come by and squeeze in her busy schedule time to clean my Piggy cage and to vacuum and clean my floors. She has also brought apple fritters, fruit and home baked goodies. For such a busy girl she has managed to make me feel loved . I am truly blessed by my wonderful family. I know the super "E's " have kept me in their prayers and have checked on me. I appreciate the concern and love that I feel from them.
It is a beautiful Friday and I plan to move back upstairs to my bedroom this weekend. I have missed having my sweetheart sleeping next to me. I just hope I do not disturb his rest with my moving around so much. I have a crazy sleep pattern.

Hooray for you!! You didn't tell me that you guys went out for Taco Bell! That must have been so nice to finally get out of the house! :) I'm so glad you were able to do that! You really are doing great and recovering quickly, just like I knew you would! :)
I've been really happy to help and wish I could have done more. If you've been feeling loved, I guess I've accomplished my goal. :) You're very loved and I'm super proud of you!
We're all looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at Madi's party! Love You Whole Bunches!!
