Still hangin' in there

So Sandra is still in a holding pattern, waiting for her doctors to give her the go-ahead for the next level of PT/recovery. You can only do so much sitting in a chair/sofa/bed, waiting to be released. She says 'it has become tiresome'. 

I see her doing a lot more with what she's given. She lifts her legs with less caution, she reaches for more things, she is more brave about doing everyday tasks.

She worries about not walking ever again, and about driving again, which is understandable.I keep telling her that she'll be okay, and walking, and fine, with time.

Believe it or not, she doesn't like sweets any more. :( 

Arm doctor appointment at the end of the week, but she's really looking forward to seeing the leg doctor in early February. Hopefully she will get greenlighted to bending/weight-bearing on the right knee so she can get up out of the chair unassisted, or at least start PT with that goal in mind.
