Butch took Roy to his appointment with the orthopedist, Dr. Lord, this morning. There was good news and bad news. Well, really, the bad news wasn't too bad, and that's good.
Good news: 1. His leg is healing well, and he can start walking on a cane instead of a walker when he is in the house, or for short distances.
2. One of the bones in his arm is also healing well.
Bad news: 1. One of the bones in his arm is not healing well, so he will still need to wear the cast.
2. His leg is not strong enough yet for him to ride a motorcycle, and since a motorcycle is his only means of transportation, he will have to come back and live with us for a while longer.
One really good thing is, he is completely off of the Hydrocodone; just takes ibuprophen now for pain; and the pain has considerably lessened in the past couple of weeks. Now it is mainly just a soreness and ache.
He really needs to get a job. He has a buddy who works for ProfitFuel in Austin, and he says he thinks he can get him on there. I am praying that someone who has an extra car will loan it to him for a couple of months!

playing around
I am having fun just playing around with our blog. Can't wait to see your posts. I like the format of blogspot...it is easy to navigate, at least to me it is.
The first picture I posted was taken in the summer when our family was at the lake.
The smaller picture was taken early in November on the day Butch brought Roy here from the rehabilitation hospital. Emily sent that picture to me because she saw it on facebook. I am not on facebook, and I was at school that day, so it was nice to have the photo.

first post on the blog!
This is our blog. We can post news and pics. It's private for us 3.
Monday was fun. After I left you two, I went to Penney's. Since I didn't purchase a warranty on my glasses, they won't replace them outright, but will give me a forty percent discount. They will call me in about two weeks, I will go in, and they can pop the new lens in.
I messed around in Penneys for a while, but didn't buy anything. Got to Columbus in time to go to the library and pick up a salad for supper. Carol, you'll be glad to know I got home before dark. Got a GOOD book at the library: The Day the Falls Stood Still.
Today I read a lot, but also paid bills, graded 2 sets of papers, and cooked supper.
Roy goes to his orthopedist tomorrow, and is going to go to his house to spend the weekend.
Sort of a trial run. Wow, I hate to see him go.
What are you doing for New Years Eve????? Can you believe it will be 1/1/11?
