It's been awhile since Ive updated so here is the latest. Went to the doc on Monday(11th) to check on the ankle and it is healing well. Got to itch my leg before getting a new splint which is a huge treat. I go back on the 18th to have the staples removed and get a removable boot put on. Wednesday went to my neck doctor and got good news that it is also healing well and no surgery will be needed on my neck. On the 23rd I get to start taking this damn collar off for two hours a day increasing an additional two hours every day until Im done with it. Good riddance, I hate the collar. I've quit taking oxycotin and am using ibuprofen and an occasional vicodin to control my pain. Angelique says I'm crabby when I'm on meds so she is happy about that. Hope to start therapy on both legs soon and my orthopedic doctor claims he is going to make it tough and pound on me which I am excited about because it means progress and less time on the couch. Angelique has sorted my shop and Dad has built a couple of small stands for my bandsaw and drill press so I can start making knives and working leather when i feel up to it. Mom and Dad also went to the local leather store and got me some stamps and a couple books for working leather. I'll have to get out and make some stuff now. That's all for now, I will update with new things soon.

Hey Cuz-
ReplyDeleteSo glad to read that you are doing a little better each day! We keep all of you in our prayers and know it is a long, slow process to heal, but hope you will be good as new once the therapy is all over. Have you done leather work for a long time? I learned how in Occupational Therapy school and loved it! It is fun and can be very theraputic as well- Post some pictures of you creations once you make some, OK? Hugs <3 the Gajewski family
