45 days post-op

     We finally made it home to Ozark, MO around 10 p.m. last night.  It was good to be home! I woke up around 6 a.m. which seems to be my usual time these days.  I rested in bed for about an hour and then got up to make some pancakes for breakfast.  We usually try to have a special breakfast on Saturdays and have made this a tradition in our family.  After breakfast, we ran a few errands to get some groceries (gotta love the motorized scooter!) and pick out some paint for a swimming pool room in the basement.  We are putting an iPool in a room downstairs so I don't have to travel to the Meyer Center all the time.  This will be so much more convenient right now.  The iPool is a heated pool that uses a tethering system so I can swim in place as well as do my therapy exercises. 



     This afternoon I took Kaitlyn with me to the Meyer Center to swim. Then we went to the Christian County Library to pick out some books for her to read.  She is an avid reader and we travel to the library frequently to keep her busy. 
     After making it home I decided to take a look at the room downstairs that David was painting.  I made it down the first 1 1/2 flights with the crutches no problem but then fell down the last five stairs onto the concrete floor.  I don't know how but I managed to somehow protect my bad foot and only slightly jammed it into the floor.  It still hurt but it could have been much worse.  My foot started to swell  some after that.  After dinner the kids had a "pajama party" and watched the movie "The Pacifier".
     What an event filled day!  I hope to sleep well tonight especially considering Daylight Savings Time starts tomorrow.
