New Hip -- Day 10
Kathleen continues to improve with leaps and bounds every day. Today she was required to report to the lab to have her blood drawn so they could decide how many milligrams of blood thinner she should take. It was her idea to stop along the way and have breakfast at one of our favorite little restaurants. When we arrived there she said, "leave the walker in the car, just hand me my cane". She walked in to that restaurant like there was no tomorrow. I am going to have to rein her in a little I think.
The weather continues to be very bleak in this part of the country. Low temps through the 14th of October are hopefully going to stay in the mid 30's. Then if we can get a couple of weeks of 'Indian Summer' to take us to Nov. 1st we will be sitting pretty.
Kathleen has an appointment with her physical and occupational therapists one week from today (Oct. 12th) and I trust they will be as surprised as I am about her progress. She also has an appointment with her surgeon, Dr. Lawrence on Oct. 15th.
