Week of September 17, 2007

Mon - We had W/T today. Terry walked the length of the pool with his new leg. It's great how well he is controlling the leg. He floated back, then did some kicks at the bar. Very Impressive! After he was dressed, he stood for FOUR minutes!! He just keeps extending his time. Later, we did some stocking for Riley Days (Oct. 4-7).
Tue - Today was fairly quiet, just doing some housework and paperwork.
Wed - We are having land therapy today with Jill and Julie. As it turned out, Julie wasn't there, so it was just Jill. She had Terry stand, trying to put weight on the new leg. He did fairly well, but not as well as on just one leg. The prosthesis throws him off a bit. He stood 3 times, and did some kicks in between. We went to Sam's again, then home for the evening.
Thur - We have dental appointments. today. Later, we had several family members for dinner. We had a nice evening.
Fri - No therapy today, so we worked toward the festival. I cleaned the garage (sort of) and made a list of all of the stock we have on hand, then made a "buy" list. Tony came for a visit and dinner, then we went to the Bread Ladies restaurant for a bit. Tom Sullivan is singing tonight, so we'll enjoy that. It was a nice outing.
Sat - While we babysat today, we went to the back pond to see how it looked. It's VERY dry! I went out a little later to check the front pond. It's low, as well. We are about 8" short of normal rainfall so far this year. We had a quiet evening.
Sun - When we went to church, several of the children took a special interest in Terry. He was telling them about his new leg, and that he's walking some in the pool. He also showed them how FAST his power chair can go. They were duly impressed. The rest of the day was spent just taking it easy.
