Free at last

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...

  2. I'm glad Skyler is doing so well. I confess I bought him a Valentine card to send and last here I see it's still in my drawer. I'm so sorry, I might still send it.
    Take care and not over do it, Sky,
    Grandma Liz
