First, I'll apologize for the hiatus. It seems i only really like to write about tragedy, so if you don't hear from me, expect the best...
The cast came off on Monday, so it was only 4 weeks in the cast instead of 6. Skyler was quite relieved. This week, he has been hobbling around with his cane or crutches. if he is dormant for too long, he gets really stiff and has to walk around for a while to loosen up.
The doctor was very please with the results. We go back the end of March just to check the progress. He has regained the flexability in his hip, but seems as stiff in other areas. Every day he's getting better, so we're sending him to school next week. I want him to take his cane but he refuses. I'm thinking of getting him a new cane; i'm looking for something with a shiny fist or eagle on the handle, or maybe a bone. he's not thrilled about the shepherd's cane he's currently toting. Ryan thinks we should install a mirror at the bottom. I think that's brilliant...
So that might be it. We're going to register for soccer for the Spring season next week. Skyler is excited and i suppose i am too. I will miss all the company. It's nice coming home to a clean home and prepared food.
Thanks to everyone who listened and contributed. holy geez it was a wild ride. only 11 more years...
hello and welcome to another installment of, this...
We had our first doctor's appointment yesterday. The doctor was very happy with Skyler's progression. He's thinking when we go back in two weeks, we should be able to take the cast off then. That's 2 weeks ahead of what we were told initially. After that, there is about a week where he will have to take it easy for a week or so while his spaghetti legs rebuild their strength.
Skyler doesn't want the cast off. He likes ordering us around. I don't like being ordered around, and i think he knows he won't get away with as much with me, but he orders his ladies around. He can do pretty much everything by himself at this point. he can climb up the chair to close the blinds, he's learned in navigating my many remote controls, and he's got his hospital bed down to a science. he's starting to get bored. We need a change of pace...
Yesterday was the first time he was outside in a few weeks. Of course, it snowed a few inches that day, so he couldn't walk on his own. The road was too slick for my truck so we took Joni's car to see the Doc, then we went to Aubrey's for lunch. He still acts like a 7 year old, even in public.
Seinfeld is so damn funny.
