Update #1:
a) I just posted five more Mrty clips... enjoy!
b) tomorrow Ms. YoYo goes for her first set of x-rays since those at
the ER on November 1st.We are hoping for some good news -- like she is
healing normally and that she can put some (at least minimal) weight
on her legs and bend her knees in two or three weeks. Meanwhile, she
is getting pretty tired of both having to take Norco for the pain and
having to use the helicopter (Hoyer lift) to get in and out of bed.
c) and I am getting used to being with her at the facility five or
more hours each day. Thank goodness she is only about five miles or so
from home and I can come home for a nap each day after lunch. This
waking up at 4 each morning, worrying, and not getting to bed till
about 10 at night requires a healthy nap, and I do that very well
these days!
Best to all, and thanks for your thoughts, prayers and/or good vibes!
YoYo
