EXCELLENT !

Hello, Everybody!

That is what the doctor kept saying, "Excellent, excellent, excellent!" That is music to our ears. He was extremely happy about the progress Sharon has made. The only real pain that she has is way down deep where the new joint meets the old bone! Wow! We had a staple pulling party at the doctor's office yesterday. Sharon was a little apprehensive about having them removed, but they just popped out--one right after the other. Remarkable!
In some places, you can just barely see where the skin was cut.

Isn't that fantastic? We got a new prescription for pain, and a renewed prescription for continued home therapy. We will see what next week brings! We are both elated about how well she is doing.

The old saying, "Slow and steady wins the race!" is not exactly Sharon's philosophy on life. She is more of a "Let's hurry up and get this all over with" kind of person. We are compromising somewhere in between these adages! The health care part of Ellen knows that some things will just take time. We are managing quite well and before we know it, this little episode will be part of the past. Welcome to the weekend! Have a good one!

Until next time. . . . .
