A Full Day!

Today was a busy day! Kathleen had her doctor's appointment at 1045 and the break looks like it is still progressing as expected. He did suggest that she get some kind of elbow extender, something that will help force the arm to straighten out. From what I understand, it is adjustable so that the wearer can make minor adjustments to finally get the arm straight. He thought that the physical therapy office could do it.

Well, when we got to the physical therapy office they told us that they do not do that. Kathleen's physical therapist did some checking and found a place just down the hallway that did it. Her physical therapy went pretty well today, but she is still pretty emotionally drained and the tears come at the drop of a hat.

Anyway, she finished physical therapy a little after 1500, so we walked down the hall to see about the device that the doctor recommended. They had to order one so we need to go back at 1000 tomorrow.

So off to Winco to do some grocery shopping, we had not really gone grocery shopping in about ten days, so it took about an hour and a half. By the time we got home and got things put away, it was 1730. Kathleen was crashing and took about an hour and a half nap on the couch.

I was getting hungry so I fixed a couple of cans of chili and woke Kathleen up. It is a good thing that we had called Alyssa earlier and said that we would not be going to her place tonight. I was pretty worn out myself, it was not from doing anything, but from just sitting around waiting for Kathleen's Doctor's appointment, physical therapy appointment, the other place and then grocery shopping.

So I guess that I am about ready to call it a day and good night!
