First Doctor Visit Following Surgery

-

 Good afternoon! I am happy to report that the doctor visit - the first following surgery- went well. He says the foot looks fine and the swelling is as expected. The splint had been a real issue and he agreed to wrap the foot lighter in order to allow me to wear the walking boot, even though I am still unable to walk. Non weight bearing will be 6-8 weeks.

I am still at my daughters' house. We were able to go to my house and I was able to see one grand and my husband as well as my mom. It was nice to see them after a week. I was also able to stay in the area long enough to see my other grand after school. That was the brightest spot of the day. I cried and I am not ashamed to say that. I miss her deeply!

I miss home! I know I need to be here where I can be cared for, but I miss home. I want my bed, my chair and my couch. I miss my husband even though I talk with him daily and we are still struggling with some issues, but I have dedicated 27 years to him and I miss him. I hope another week or two and I can go home. My daughter does a great job of caring for me and I know that I am probably better off here. I have a room of my own here and I have most of what I can do here, but it just isn't the same. Home Sweet Home, I miss! 



I don't care where you live or how big or small  your home is I believe that after being away, you truly miss it! 

Have you ever been homesick?

Well, I have some reading to do and I need to call a couple of friends, so I will close now and see you all soon.

    I am so glad you got a good report and happy that you were able to go to your own house. I have been homesick a few times in my life...and still am once in a while.

    I am so glad your report was a good one. You're right -- there's no place like home.

    I glad you have had a good report. My husband had his ankle fused together and it was a good year before he felt "healed." Those weeks when he could not be on his foot at all were no fun, but the knee scooter proved very useful. I hope you can graduate to using that soon.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
