Multi-Tasking

I'm always amused when I use that term "multi-tasking" because it is the new word founded either at the end of the millinium or the beginning of 2001.  From my vantage point, it has always just been the "norm" for me.  Having to balance, juggle, or whatever verbage one uses, has been thoroughly utilized during our time here in Durham.  For example, as I write the blog, I just finished putting the clothes in the dryer and prior to that I cleaned the kitchen between the washing and the drying.  Somewhere during that time I was able to work in a blood sugar, Insulin injection, medications with the supper meal and clean everything up!  To those female blog followers ( you do understand, don't you)?  No offense, Guys, it just is that way.  We learned it a long time ago with the babies, work, etc.  So..................now that I have "tooted my horn", let me tell you about Lee.

Today was another great day!  It began early this morning with a clinic visit.  We decided to swing by the Burger King for some Whopper Jr.s for lunch and arrived at the condo just in time for the Home Health nurse's visit.  She had to change Lee's PICC line dressing.  After lunch we left for the CFL @ 12:15.  When I arrived to pick Lee up @ 4:00 he was attending a breathing class.  I informed him that we had already had that class so he left early.  His FIRST today was that he walked a lap WITHOUT a rolator.  The therapist took the rolator and walked with it alongside Lee.  He did very well, but did get very tired toward the end of the lap.  I am so proud of him!

Lee completed 22 sessions today!  He will be able to graduate from the CFL after the 23rd session.  They feel that he does need an extra 5 sessions and maybe some more after that.  We really want him to be able to walk freely without the rolator before returning home.  He still needs another month and then, if we have no more complications.....................HOME! 

For those of you who have asked, my ankle is doing much better.  I do, however; feel better wearing an ankle brace when walking because the ankle is still weak and does swell when I am on it a long time.  I appreciate your concerns and I thank you for remembering me in your prayers.  We are so grateful to have our huge circle of family and friends.  We are constantly reminded of your vigilance and your thoughts and prayers.  We thank you for that.
