A fly on a the wall

The past week and a half has been a definite learning curve around here. We're all doing well, thanks to Alan. Caroline is getting used to Daddy being home every day and all of the little changes in her daily life. Alan is getting used to taking care of Caroline on a 24 hour basis, while doing all of the chores and taking care of me and the animals.

Me, I'm trying to stay out of the hospital and recover! Besides a wild Friday night in the ER (I'm fine now) things have been uneventful on my front. I go from feeling good to having lots of nerve issues. I had my last check up Tuesday and the doctor said I can now remove the splint during the day and move my foot around, but NO weight bearing. I'm still so sick of the splint, it drives me nuts at night! My next appointment is November 2nd. If all goes well I can move into an aircast and begin physical therapy and start trying to walk again. I mean try too, my calf muscle as almost completely atrophied and wont flex.

Most of the time, I'm in our bedroom trying to keep myself entertained and listening to everything going on in the house. I try to figure out exactly what toy Caroline is playing with, what she and Alan are doing while they make dinner, listening to the both of them upstairs in while Caroline takes a bath, brushes her teeth and gets changed. I am thankful that I get to at least do these things and know my family so well that I can guess and visualize myself there.

So, there haven't been many pictures while Alan's in charge. He and Caroline have been busy around the house and out and about too. Yesterday, they headed over to Darlene's to visit Luke, Caroline's cousin who is 6 weeks younger than she. They had lots of fun hanging out. I'm sure Caroline appreciated the company of someone her own age after spending so much time with Daddy and Mommy!
