We're up and running, or at least up and walking for now.....

IT"S OFF!!!!!!!!!!!IT"S OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does it look like I am excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more cast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Doctor took it off today at the hospital and we had to wear these ear muffs cause the saw was so loud, but actually we should have nose plugs too!!!!!! Those things are just nasty after that long. Kevin was really good about it though, and after the Doctor explained that the saw couldn't actually cut him, it cut him!! On the leg. .......so the Doctor says it won't cut you if you don't pull away......maybe that should have been said at the beginning, but it was just a little cut. He's walking, but still with a limp and the foot slightly off to the side. I guess over 6 weeks of having it resting has done something to all the muscles......like made them weak for now. So he's supposed to take it easy for a week, which will be hard on him cause now that it's off he just wants to go.....I am very happy and it's a treat to see him walking again. We went and bought him new runners, ones with lots of support. Any shopping with Kevin is not a quick in and out... it takes time, he definately knows what he likes....so I plunked myself on the floor of the store and waited for him to decide. I explained to the sales lady that I am used to waiting for him....she just giggles. But he now has beautiful new black runners with lotsa support.
My husband comes home tonight, he has been in Toronto on business. I just don't sleep well when he's not home. I usually wake up around 1am and stay up until 4:30 am. I pray, look out the window......listen for new and unfamiliar noises........but thank God he's home tonight so I can get a good sleep.
