A special visitor


It was so great to see John who was in town on business from Oregon.  He was amazed at how well Blanche is doing and we agree!  She's doing PT twice a day and OT once.  I saw her this morning and she wanted her nightstand moved to where she can get into it using her wheelchair.  It got moved and I put her things that weren't hanging in it so she could get them herself.  She was happy.  A follow-up with the orthopedic doctor was scheduled for next Tuesday and I will meet her there. 

Kelleigh and I went to her appointment for the MRI results.  The doctor was flabbergasted that it showed no tendon damage.  What it did show was significant swelling and bruising around the bone; so much so that she has to do PT to get the body to reabsorb it.  He said it's very rare to have that much show up and not have a break or fracture with it.  She's out of PE and riding lessons for the month but should be good by the end of it.  The PE part thrilled her but the riding part didn't!
