First week at home

Praise God from whom all blessing flow. What a blessing to finally be home. It has been so incredibly awesome to be able to sleep in my own bed with David and dogs. The first day at home I overdid it and my left leg let me know that I needed to prop it up more and rest more. I have been doing that better now. Therapists are coming daily to my house and working with me on getting better. I have a routine I practice daily with nap time and work time.

Went to the doctor today and found out that I will be having knee surgery on Feb. 4 at OU Medical Center. I will be getting my new knee brace next week to help support my knee better when I move around and start walking more.

I sure have enjoyed seeing all my friends and family coming by to say hi at home. Please continue to call and come by as I tend to get lonely by myself. Thanks to everyone again for all your prayers.

Signing off now. Love, Jill

Going Home!!!

Hello to all. Hope everyone had a great New Year. Mom will be going home today. She is doing awesome and ready to go to her house. She will still be getting rehab from home now. The therapists will be coming over to her house. She did find out that she does have some nerve damage in her left leg/knee area. They are making her a special brace to wear so she can walk easier. She can maneuver around by herself. She has great upper body strength and can push herself in her wheelchair where she needs to go. She also uses her walker to stand and walk behind. She has a special boot that goes inside her left shoe to help stabilize when she moves about. She loves to hear from everyone so now you can call her at home. 405-478-5324. Mom and Dad's address is 14213 Middleberry Road, Edmond 73013. Thanks for all the prayers from everyone. She truly is a miracle from GOD!!!
