| Mom has had a more painful day. Trouble with shooting or grabbing side pain, still struggling with headaches, and also an upset stomach.
My leg still bothers me a bit, but I am walking again as of Friday!
Dwight was in Va for thanksgiving but is coming home tomorrow. I don't know what my deal is, but I REALLY missed him this time while he was gone. :(
We got to see and talk with the pa family via web cam on thanksgiving day. That is such a blessing!
J is babysitting for some friends all day today and into tomorrow because the mom and daughter are sick and the dad has to work a 24 hr shift and J does not have to go in to work until later.
I will be helping out at the school the next two weeks I think except for this Tuesday when mom has her next dr. appointment.

| Today was my dr appt re my leg. He suspected what J thought it might be, but I am doing so much better he said I don't have to use the crutches any more but have to keep icing it for a week and have to keep taking an anti-inflammatory for 4 weeks. If it flares up I'm to call him and he would order an mri.
It is so nice to not have to be totally non-weight-bearing with my bum leg!
In other good news, Shanna is once again taking nourishment! We had heard last week that hospice had given her no more than two weeks, but it seems God is granting her more time on earth.

| Another crazy day. Well, crazier for me that any this month so far.
I was minding my own business. (which, for now, is being a sub teacher at the school for 2/3-5th grades) There I was, in the middle of a fairly tame game of peak around the corner during our lunch break. ____ had just disappeared around the corner and we all took off again when BAMB! All of a sudden my leg hurt like all crazy. I limped back around to the stairs but could not continue to participate in the game.
I limped my way through the rest of the day, stayed for the staff meeting, and then headed in to see J. But I was running so late J told me to just go home and she'd meet me there instead.
After running through a series of tests and talking to her boss they tell me I must see an orthopedic asap and absolutely NO weight baring allowed until then. They suspect I have a particle tear in my calf muscle and if I cause any further tearing it would probably require surgery!
Tomorrow I have to get the dr appt whenever that can happen. Until then I'm going to do my best to modify the classroom and those tasks in order to be able to carry on there. Whenever I have to run (er, be driven. I am unable to even drive because it is my right leg) to the dr the school will find a sub for the sub. :(
Someone was trying to help me count my blessings an hour or two ago and I decided one thing I am definately grateful for is that we do not yet have government healthcare! Yeah, I know. That is a mighty short list. But I'll admit, I have been spending a lot more time and energy on problem solving than I have spent on giving thanks tonight. But another thing that definitely made the list was that I am very grateful for J. What a help she has been!!!
