Hello, what happened to our nice weather? Oh well, I'm sure our flowers, grass, and gardens appreciate the rain.

Sorry it's been awhile since a new blog was posted. Here is the latest. Physical therapy on the right wrist continues. There is some movement and improvement in my range of motion but it's going fairly slow (as expected). Right wrist is great other then some nasty looking scars. Left leg is coming along with lots of home exercises, walking around a couple of blocks, and physical therapy at Sacred Heart. Right leg is a work in progress but we're getting closer to finding a good fit.

All of my therapists and John the leg guy have been wonderful (patient too). I was able to purchase several pairs of shoes over the weekend (thank you Gary at Burch's for your patience and help) so am now feeling a little more normal instead of always having to wear tennis shoes.

Ed and I went out to Harrisburg this past Sunday to check on my Mom's house. I drove both ways (through Coburg) and felt very good about my driving. I'm using my left foot to break and so far (seeing Ed hold his breath while I'm at the wheel is a bit funny) getting the hang of it.

Today marks the fifth month since the accident. There have been no tears so far today. I miss my Mother and my foot every single day but I am adjusting. I feel so lucky to be here with all of you and am so grateful for your love and support (ok now I'm starting to bawl). While the therapy appointments and exercises get a bit tedious as Ed says this is my full time job now. I'll continue to work hard. My wrist is aching so going to quickly close.

My aunt is here for a couple days so that will be fun. As it's raining the plan is to go catch a movie later today.

Hope you've all voted? Take care and have a good week.
