Nothing New

No posts because there's nothing new. He's getting around better on crutches, but hasn't been out a whole lot. But then, who's around to take him out?? We go out for dinner and he goes with us now. He's been to church the last two Sundays.

We're all going to Charleston this coming weekend to pack it up and move it out. Friends are loaning us a van and we're hoping that between the van and my cr-v we can get it all out. But if not, we have one more weekend. Hmmmm.... maybe we can't get it all!!

Next doctor visit is Thursday, October 30, for another cast change.

Thursday night

Not much to tell. Went to the orthopedic today and got a new cast. Incision looks good. New cast is just a few degrees closer to flex than the other; and it's royal blue (so it won't look so dirty). Next appointment in four weeks.
He's now free to sit with his leg down for periods of time. If it gets tight, put it up for a few hours. An aspirin a day to combat possible blood clots. He can ride in the back seat of the car for a couple of hours at a time, with leg up mostly.
Oh, and the hives are substantial. Not outrageous, but lots of them on torso and arms.
