Back to work!

Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever

HAHA!  I tricked yall–you thought I was going to say Josh was going back to work already but really its me!  I came back to work this weekend after being off for 2 weeks to be with Josh.  Its nice for life to be somewhat normal again but I miss being with him. 

Wednesday Josh had major cabin fever and after bugging me to take him to walmart all day we compromised.  I brought him to the hospital to see the nurses and Dr. Abel–the doctor who treated him in the ER.   Since he remembers nothing from that visit he wanted to meet her.  Then I got him a pizza–these steroids are making him eat like a cow!

A while back we got a gift certificate for dinner for 2 at the Peaks of Otter restaurant that expired on January 31 so Thursday night we went there for dinner.  I was nervous about how Josh would do on the long car ride there and back but he did fine.  We saw about 20 deer on the way there and about 15 deer in their parking lot.  They were so tame we got within about 8 feet of them and they never moved!  The food was good, they were dead.  They said the winter months are the slowest for them.  While we were there the pond was froze over except for 1 spot which never freezes because there is a natural spring there.  There was a small otter that played in that spot the whole time we were there.  We watched him in the water and the deer in the grass throughout our whole meal.

Physical therapy came out friday to assess Josh.  Insurance did approve for him to have 10 pt sessions and 5 ot sessions.  I’m not sure he will need that much pt.  He is doing really well since coming home.  Occupational therapy is supposed to come Monday afternoon.  He has 3 doctors appointments next week, Dr. Buck on Monday, Dr. Harron on Wednesday, and Dr. Schertz on Friday. 

Since he is still not to be left home alone he is with my parents this weekend.  My poor parents are watching both of my boys!  I’m sure the boys are having fun together.
