Thomas left this morning for Arizona. He'll be there for 3 weeks for training purposes. I'm so glad it's only 3 weeks because I'm still not feeling well. Although he is going to miss my birthday on the 30th. So sad. I know I will make it through because I've got amazing friends who are more than willing to help with anything I need. And Ray-Ray (AJ- the roommie) is here and he is always willing to help me out. He's a good guy. :)
I have 2 more follow-up appointments next week with the Physical Therapist and the Orthopedic Doctor. I was supposed to wait 3 weeks from my last follow-up but moved them up. My back is totally fine but my hips and legs hurt constantly. The Orthopedic Doc said if I'm still in pain he will schedule an MRI- it's about darn time. I've missed 2 1/2 days of work the last 2 weeks and my daily life is so not fun. I come home and lay on the couch in pain. I'm sick of talking about it, sick of dealing with it, sick of living a life in pain. I'm more than ready to be healthy again.
My daddy came to stay for a night on his way back to Indiana from Florida Thursday night. It was so great to see him. As expected, he is still grieving from the lose of N but seems to be in okay spirits. He's looking forward to being back in Indiana to start work on his garden. He's a gardening maniac! He and my older brother have an enormous garden and sell the produce for extra money. He mentioned he might come stay a couple weeks with Thomas & I this winter. I would absolutely love that and I know Tom would too.
No big plans for the weekend. I think I might go to the PX (military department store) and buy a new pair of running shoes- although they will not be used for any sort of running, jogging, trotting, etc....only for slow walking.
