Wow... what a month... pneumonia (possibly twice - about to find out) and consultation with an orthopedic surgeon after an 8.5 month wait. It took me 8 months to conceive and deliver Angeni! So I've been away from my blog and I apologize for the disruption...
We're off school and work today (Wednesday) because of a nasty storm threatening to blanket us with ice for the next 36 hours. Even our doctor has changed our appointment from in-office to Skype! I love automation... it's nice for Brian to not have the chore of loading my electric wheelchair into the van. He needed to do the on/off loading thing when I saw the orthopedic surgeon last week, along with another doctor. I believe in all he on/off loaded it 5 times in 8 hours - that's hard on a guy turning 70 this year. However, according to the surgeon, I am in this wheelchair for life. He cannot do any surgery on me to repair/replace/rejuvenate or otherwise get me walking as I used to do. This life change requires more permanent renovations to our home in an effort to accommodate. I am still processing all the implications.
More to come - can't keep the family doctor waiting!
