As I look around thinking, how will I do this. when Trixie, cannot let me out of her sight. The boys are ready to go and I need to put their poles down, Jordan is four and does not want to stay with Grampa, and I look at the game warden and say, "I have my hands a little full". He says "Well, you don't have too many poles, I will let you go this time." I said THANK YOU!
It was a really busy weekend! We had fun swimming, walking, playing in the river, reading, cooking and oh yes, fishing! I was just a little worn out each night, taking care of everyone. Whew! But, I was doing my favorite things, being with my family, and I am grateful that Doug is well enough to go out of town.
This week is Doug's last week with Home Health. He is ending physical therapy . He has made enough progress that they will no longer offer him services. The next step will be for Doug to have a physical with his primary care doctor and she is likely to prescribe physical therapy in the community. I think this will be good for him, however it will be more difficult getting him there 2 to 3 times a week and of course more expensive. But it is the next step in the journey.
And so we pray:
God of our Journey, the path lays both behind and ahead of us. It is time for us to take the next steps. We can only see as far as the bend and so we step forward with hope, anticipation and concern. We wonder what will come next. As we walk on, we pray that Doug will continue his healing, we pray that he will continue to strengthen his legs and his walking improve. And we look forward to hearing when his retuximab infusions will begin. Amen
