Only One More Night .... Yippee!

I have been cleared to go home, alone, tomorrow.  It can not come fast enough.

It is 7:00 AM in the morning on December 18th.  I woke up on my own and went into the bathroom to pee and to scrub my body.  Came back to my side of the room and dressed.  The temp outside says 28 degrees, but I am in shorts?  Why, you might ask...., well I will be heading to my surgeon's office to have the 29 staples removed from my knee.  Another appointment that cannot come too soon.  Therapy has been going well, but bending the knee is painful, more from the staples pulling.  I am looking forward to therapy this afternoon to see if it really makes a difference.

I will be packing my stuff the rest of the night.  Marji and Danny are coming up to pick me up at 1:00 PM.  Gives us time to wake up and move, but I want to be ready as soon as they come.

Once home, I will have Thursday evening, all day Friday and half day Saturday to figure out what I need to adjust to do this on my own  with a walker.  That way Brian, who arrives in Philly close to noon, will be able to help me make the adjustments.

I will be having therapy at home until I can drive and then probably still at the new center in Parkesburg.  Those arrangements are being made today.

So, I will be home soon, prayers answered and progress continues.  Be ready, friends, I will be in need of rides and shopping over the next 4 weeks.  I will be calling!  And thanks for the offers.
