Sunday, August 31

Good Morning. Sorry, I have not posted for a few days. J continues to do well. Our family training went well too. We did have some anxious moments regarding the bedside commode, but it worked out OK in the end. Without going into too much explanation, the problem with the commode is that the seat is hard and it really hurts J's left leg to sit there. We are going to try to get a cushioned seat for home.

My biggest challenge is going to be to remain calm when J's pain level is high, because there are definitely going to be times when the pain seems unbearable. I hope that these will decrease as his legs heal, but the healing process may be a long one.

We look for today to be quiet, but there will be no Labor Day break. He gets right back to therapy tomorrow.

Love,

Cara
