What a week so far....
Well, the cast came off on the 29th but we are still not able to walk. Her ankle and knee both revolted at being kept still for 8 weeks and now refuse to want to move at all. Last week we began the wonderful world of Physical Therapy. We are glad to be able to go on base and not have to drive all the way into town for appointments which are now 3 X per week. The PT staff is also great. However, Jessica is NOT a fan of having to do the exercises. Some aren't too bad but some cause her a great deal of pain and she is not the least bit shy in telling me all about how much she enjoys doing all this. Anytime it's time to go to PT or do our exercises at home she reminds me how much she enjoys and values the experience of PT. She is oozing gratefulness and gratitude at being able to learn to walk again. I find all the oozing raises my blood pressure and gives me a headache.
Connor has a bad cold and his nose is running off of his face. His eyes are watery and he looks and feels completely miserable. And, he had to get a haircut today. He enjoys getting a haircut almost as much as Jessica enjoys PT.
Roxy had to go to the vet for a bladder infection today. She's a dog...as long as she's fed life is good.
Oh, did I mention Scott is TDY this week?

Jessica is her mother's daughter.
Isn't motherhood a wonderful thing!
She is just like her mother in so many ways. Poor Thing.
She has to have some kind of story to tell as an adult. It can't all be perfect childhood - right? (That's what I tell myself.) Hang in there - you're not allowed to get sick too, you know.
Sounds like you need a glass of wine and a hot bubble bath!
