Other than the fact my DH is sick in bed with a cold, today has been a very happy day for me!
1. I saw the surgeon and while there is nothing he can do to make the pain I have right now go away any time soon, it WILL go away and I can resume a normal life in every respect without damaging the leg further. I can go back to my catering/cake business, I can drive, go to pool therapy, walk, etc. It will just be time but it will improve. I already have some of the mobility I lost over the last two months back!
2. While I will have to still use a cane for what might be quite awhile, DH took me to buy a real snazzy multicoloured ladies cane with butterflies all over it instead of the clunky black man's cane I have been using! It almost makes me want to go out walking just to show it off!
3. The flooring company called today and they will be coming out to finish the job on Friday...the day before my Dad moves in! We will have bathroom floors and all the carpet edges will be neatly finished!
4. My daughter is coming over on Friday night to help me do the final cleaning before my Dad moves in. It will be the first time we have been face to face since we had to ask them to leave in July. And it was HER idea!
5. My father is feeling much better just knowing he will be here on Saturday and will not be alone any more! That makes my day very happy.
So, the leg is on its way to improvement with no new setbacks, our house is on the verge of being finished, there is a possibility of an renewed relationship with DD and SIL (though trust will take awhile) and arrangements for my father are coming together.....This is a very happy day indeed!
