Phew! It's been a long couple of weeks. So much has happened and hasn't happened, and is about to happen, it's just exhausting. 3 dear friends/relatives have gotten married in the past 2 weeks, or celebrated their marriage that took place a couple months ago, and we weren't able to attend any of them. The doctor laughed in my face when we asked if we could make the 7 hour drive to Chicago, the closest of the 3. I didn't want to even suggest a 2 day road trip to Ontario or Virginia! But, wow, if we had been able to go, it would have been a really fun 2 weeks!

This morning I had my physical therapy consult. It looks like everything is going very well in the healing process and I might only be about 5 months out from recovery at this point instead of the normal 8-9. A normal tibial plateau fracture takes months and months to heal, even if no surgery was needed. Tomorrow I head back to base for my first session on a stationary bike.

Doug's dad and family were here visiting for the weekend. We took a whirlwind trip to Branson and shopped (and shopped and shopped). Serena, Doug's stepsister, stayed for this week, so once again God has provided an extra pair of hands to get through a rough week.

We will update more soon, and with more pictures.
