Doctor Visit

Mom had an appointment today with her orthopedic surgeon in Charleston.

They took x-rays & said her breaks were healing nicely. She goes back in 6 weeks. Still no weight bearing on her legs during that time. They removed the cast on her left foot from heel surgery & replaced it with a removable boot (same as what's been on her right foot all this time). She's glad about that because the cast was so heavy. She'll be able to remove both at night & it will make it easier when she showers (won't have to wrap her leg in plastic anymore).

She'll have one more week of in-home physical therapy. Then, she'll go to an outpatient place 2-3 times a week for therapy.

The last few days, she's been very discouraged & depressed. Her spirits were much better today. I hope she remains in a good mood. She loves to get visits, cards, or calls from people. They help cheer her up, so try to stay in touch with her if you can.

Granny is here until Wednesday to help out for a few more days. I know she's glad to have Granny here. And Granny has enjoyed being here to help Mom & visit with all of us!

I'll keep you posted! Thanks for checking in!

Not Much to Report...

Not much to report with Mom these days. She's getting acclimated to being home & getting into a routine with the various nurses & therapists that come by to work with her. Daddy started back to work yesterday; just half days though. Granny is in town to help Mom out while he's at work. She's leaving Saturday to go back to Maryland. So, I'll probably be in charge of helping out more with Mom next week.

Mom has a doctor's appt in Charleston on Friday with the orthopedic surgeon that performed her hip/knee surgeries. We should know more about her progress, etc. after that.
That's all I know for now!

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. We took Blake to the beach for the first time. Click the link below to see some cute pictures!
