She is doing overall fine. She is keeping up with her classes via Zoom without having to work with the coach offered by the school. Everyday at lunch, she chats with her friend from school and sees her on weekends. Life is somewhat normalizing although she is not done.
Physical therapy began a couple of weeks ago and she is doing well. Sometimes the therapist works her to the point of crying, but she is a trooper. Now we wait to see the surgeon to remove the screws from her growth plate and she is also now using a device to help her bone heal. If it doesn’t heal properly they may need to add bone graft to the top. The bottom portion seems to be healing fine so that is good news. Alyssa is now using crutches instead of a walker to get her left leg used to more weight. We still have ways to go before she can run. Just glad she is on the road to recovery, along with the ongoing appointments needed.
As for mom, I am doing well. Keeping busy with cooking during the work week while Jason works. I am becoming an amateur cook after trying out all these casserole dishes my cousin sent me. When a recipe tells me 10 min prep it’s usually 20 for me, LoL. But I am getting better and learning not to overcook chicken!! I went to see a doctor and he says that I need to take iron again - it appears I am anemic. Otherwise I am healthy and need to lower my sugar levels. I am not diabetic but my mom had diabetes type 2 so I need to be careful.
Until next time... Thank you all for reading and for your prayers. Once this pandemic is over, I look forward to getting together for a cup of wine or so!!!
