Staples out!

Today my mom is getting the staples in her knee taken out -- I am heading out right after school to help her, as I think she might be in a little bit more pain this evening. She is walking around, and is able to straighten the knee pretty well, but bending is going to continue to be a challenge.

Thanks for all the patience and support -- you are all awesome!

The Second Week

This week the exercises are getting better. Yesterday (when I didn't drive down to Mission Viejo) the leg got so swollen from not putting it up the day before, that a trip to urgent care was needed as the foot was purple. After finding out that the car needed a new battery (after finding out that the refrigerator needs to be replaced and the plumbing overflowed the other day), the doctor said that

everything is healing well - just need to elevate more often

.

So home my mom and her helper Susan came. I am getting very used to commuting and getting back into the swing of getting everything done and running to the car.
