Hastings Campground
Hastings, NE
This…
is still healing and improving. This past Thursday, we went back to the orthopedist and the cast was removed, x-rays were taken, and a brace was prescribed.
Both breaks are healing up and the physical therapy is continuing. Because of the cast and the sling, Terri hasn’t been able to use/move her right arm too much for several weeks. The result is a very stiff and weak shoulder, elbow, wrist, and fingers. So the physical therapist must work on all these areas to get them back to acceptable mobility. We’re already seeing improvements after only two weeks of mild physical therapy. She doesn’t have to wear the sling anymore, so that helps too.
That…
is still growing, and we’re watching it grow every day. When we got here it was a field of dirt. I’m sure the rain we’ve gotten recently is helping. Isn’t this exciting?
THANK YOU!!!
Thanks to all of those, as well as their respective families and special others, that have sacrificed to protect and defend this beloved country. Please take a moment to appreciate what we have here and those who have given so much to perpetuate and preserve it.
Don't forget the National Guard. They are defending us here and abroad as well.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that everything is healing. PT should have you back to your old self in no time. I can't believe how quickly things are growing here in Oregon. There's a new wildflower blooming every few days!
ReplyDeleteNice to see Terri is healing right along. I'm sure you are tired of watching the grass grow!
ReplyDeleteYes it is a great country and we are so thankful!! We are also very glad to hear that Teri's arm is coming around. The physical therapy is the key so stick with it. Happy Memorial Day to you both!!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you are doing so much better Terri. Waiting to hear that you are out of all doctors, all PT and things are as they were before it even happened.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Mike!
We're thrilled to see the cast has been removed. Keep up that PT so in no time you'll be able to slap Mike when he deserves it. ;c)
ReplyDeleteSo thankful to live in this country that affords us the opportunity to live this lifestyle!
ReplyDeleteAlso, so glad Terri is doing so much better! Maybe she'll be well enough to move north later this summer and you can visit us in the Dakota's! :)
Good to see that Terri is healing. Enjoy the PT. Your post was a very nice tribute to our military. This country may not be perfect, but I really like it here.
