Progress and Patience

Today was the one month checkup with the doc to see how all things orthopedic are sorting themselves out.

Dr. Leberte was pleased. I was relieved. The "nervous Nellie" side of me was truly concerned that I would be unable to have made sufficient progress for it to be noticed.

The x-rays looked promising. There is new bone growing along the fracture lines and the doctor said for me to continue along in my exercise and practice with muscle movements. I'm looking forward to having more to show him come May 17th.

We got home about lunch time and then I crept into the bed for some rest. I slept really well for my nap then my therapist came to put me through my paces. I walked and did my exercises for her. She seemed pleased and took the note from Dr. Leberte back for the files.

Each day is a little better. I'm hoping that I can get my strength back and sorted out so that I can continue to recover.

I am so thankful for all the Lord has done for me thus far. It is truly a miracle for me.
