Week of October 8, 2007

Monday - I called to cancel therapy today. The festival was just TOO tiring for both of us. We napped quite a bit today, trying to catch up.

Tuesday - We spent the day sorting out the trailer, emptying freezers, etc. We needed to consolidate all that we had left in order to return whatever possible. Sales were down, so we had a lot to return.

Wednesday - We had therapy today with David (land). It didn't go very well. The week without therapy put Terry behind. He did do table work, though, and David was surprised at Terry's added strength and balance.

Thursday - We called for an appointment. with the hand specialist. We're both somewhat concerned about Terry's hand. We saw the doctor later that day, and he ran a couple of tests. Terry's hand IS improving. The feeling is still not very strong, but better than the last appointment. We left feeling encouraged, thinking it will just take time.

Friday - We had therapy again today, but not in the pool, as is usual. Terry has a sore from the prosthetic, and can't get in the water until it's healed. Jill had him work on the table instead. She had him lean side to side several times, as far over as he could. Then she wanted him to lie down on his side.He did about 75% of that, only needing help in lifting his leg onto the table. It was good progress. We went to the track after that. They're having their biggest race of the year this weekend-- the endurance race. It was PACKED! We stayed for a while, then went home.

Saturday - We babysat this morning, then had a quiet day.

Sunday - We went to church (we're SO glad to be able to do that!), then went out to the track to see the race. It started with 70 CARTS!!! It was pretty interesting to see. We hadn't planned to stay for the whole race, but after running an errand for them, we did see the end. It was a fun day.
