While this isn’t the “Hey, guys, guess what? Nigel’s walking!” post I’d like to write, the good news is we met with the surgeon today. First off, Nigel had worn his Wabash College coat. Nigel went to Purdue; our oldest (and a whole lot of our money) went to Wabash College. But, so did Nigel’s …
Friends, I have to admit I took the lazy route on this one. I am tired. I am exhausted in every inch of my body. I realize many have more on their plate than I do, but I’m just plain worn out. So, I went easy on me and, maybe, on you. I would also …
Not much new on the home front when it comes to Nigel’s recovery. He had another appointment on Monday. The surgeon, quite frankly, is beginning to worry me. Maybe he’s just thinking out loud, but he’s confused about the images he sees on the x-rays. He did say the fracture is healing, but where the …
After a long and dry October, November promises to be cooler and wetter! I admit it. I love a rainy day. The primary bedroom faces west so I can’t really tell what the weather is until I open my eyes. And, I’m always secretly delighted when it’s rainy and overcast. Yes, I am in my …
My how things can change in the course of a month. Nigel had another doctor appointment. The surgeon was a little confuzzled by what he saw on the x-rays. He said there was bone growth where there shouldn’t have been. It appears Nigel is a very lucky guy because his femur did, in fact, crack …
Now, this is the kind of weather I love! In fact, I wouldn’t be unhappy if it stayed like this until December 23rd or so, snowed a few inches, then this weather resumed after the first of the year. Can you believe the first of the year is really not that far away? It honestly …
I have to tell you, my friends, today was a super duper of a day! Nigel had his follow up with the surgeon, and the implant hasn’t moved any further. In fact, he said it had probably happened the very first time they stood Nigel up on his feet. But, they wanted to be cautious …
I picked the best week to come back home. The weather here has been so good…warm with sunny skies. The next few days are supposed to be cooler, but I don’t think autumn is quite here yet. I’m sure it will be late September or even early October before I declare it to be autumn …
I am going to be that person and say, “I can’t believe it’s the 10th of August already!” The last couple of weeks have been sooooo slow and yet have gone quite quickly…if that can even happen. Well, it can’t really happen unless quantum something or other is involved, right? Anyhoo, Nigel got a really …
I’m not sure about where you live, but here in Central Indiana, many of the schools are already back in session. Gosh, I remember not starting school until the Friday before Labor Day. We only went for half a day, and then school began in earnest on the Tuesday after Labor Day. These days, it …
