51 and 52 days post-op

     I didn't get the chance to update my blog yesterday so I decided to combine days.  I was pretty busy getting caught up with the kids on their schoolwork and getting Ryan ready for his History Banquet with school.  He has to memorize a fairly long speech about an ancient Greek person named Hipparchus.  This is a great learning experience for him but it is pretty stressful preparing for it.  I know he will do just fine, though.  

     Hannah, a girl from church came over yesterday and is staying until tomorrow.  She has been helping me with the kids at various times these last four months.  The kids love playing with her and it allows me to stay off my foot when I need to.  I have been helping out with the pool room downstairs a little and even cleaned some tile where the newly applied grout had been laid.  This evening, I even was able to assist David in assembling the pool. I might be able to even use it by tomorrow and I will post some pictures soon. 

     I have been on my feet more than I have in seven weeks so I know this is progress but I am hoping I won't regret it tonight.  I am thankful for the progress but I do wish the nerve symptoms would just disappear.  God's timing is best, though and I am praying He will heal these nerves soon or else give me the patience to endure.
