Week of September 24, 2007

Mon - We have W/T today. I woke in pain. I've pulled another muscle in my chest. Julie (W/T) told me to sit out. Terry walked the length of the pool and back! His technique isn't good, but that will come with time. Therapy wore him out, and I'm hurting, so we spent the rest of the day at home.
Tue - Amanda is home all day today, so I went alone to pick up some stock. I can fit a lot more in the van. Jimmy and Warren came a little later to move some of the heavy stuff into the trailer, then we quit for the day.
Wed - Terry woke at 3:00 in pain. He woke me at 6:00. He hadn't slept well, and was pretty uncomfortable all morning. He did get a little nap before therapy, but not much. We had therapy with David today. When we got there, David said all of his patients that day had been hurting more. It was a rainy day, and that seems to aggravate injuries. David took Terry to the parallel bars and had him try to stand.We both helped quite a bit. Terry's just not feeling well. He tried his best, though. After therapy, we just went home. Terry needs the rest!
Thur - Terry woke again at 3:00. I'm not sure what the problem is. We'll hope for better nights. Mom came today to help with getting things ready for Riley Days. We got a fair amount done. We babysat for a bit in the evening, then relaxed for the night.
Fri - We both slept well last night. What a difference that makes! At W/T today, Terry walked the length and back, with strength to spare! Then Julie wanted him to try side-stepping. It's pretty hard. Each new task takes some practice. He's doing great, though! His stability and strength keep improving! We went to Sam's again after therapy. Jimmy came for a bit later, to work on the trailer. Then we were done for the night.
Sat - We were up early. Some of our friends from church are coming to do some of the outside work. It's been neglected a lot this year. Terry mentioned that it was bothering him, and Karen organized a work day. We have such good friends, and a great church family!! They worked for about 3 hours, and it looked LOTS better. After they left, we came in for lunch and Terry went to bed. He slept for 2 hours! The morning had worn him out. I worked on the trailer for awhile, then we were done for the day.
Sun - Terry wanted to "wear" his leg to church today. Several people had asked about it and wanted to see it. They also saw a few pics, and Jeffrey downloaded a few to show on the screen at church. We went to W/M afterwards, to get all of the paper goods for the trailer. Then I worked on the trailer for about 2 hours, just cleaning and getting more ready. We finally settled for the evening.
