He is no longer sleeping all day. :)
The pain is still there, but not as great.
He is trying to get caught up on all of the papers that his students have been doing while he was away.
There were high hopes of returning to work tomorrow, but unfortunately, that will have to wait just a little while longer. His foot has some swelling because we have not been elevating it as much.
I have to keep a close eye on him because he tries to "get away" with things while I am not looking.
The other day, I busted him in the kitchen with no crutches!
When I asked him how he got there, he said,
"I hopped!"
Arg!
Oh well.
He is getting frustrated because he just wants to get back into normalcy again.
I keep reminding him that this is very temporary.

Do you see the blue tube coming out of his ankle??
That is our cool I
ceMan machine. It is basically a cooler that I keep filling up with ice and water that is attached to a tube which runs really cold water through a pad on his leg.
Modern technology.
At least we don't have to use bags of frozen peas. :)
hi Cheryl! My birthday sister! :)
ReplyDeleteWe will keep praying for John. I understand how he must want to just HOP instead of sit. I think you and I (being busy mommmas) would go bonkers if we had to heal up like he is doing. So high five to John... and to you for being a wonderful wife!! :) XOXO polly
John,would you please do as Cheryl says. She has three others to watch. I loved the reference to the bag of frozen peas. Modern technology is wonderful.
