~ Home ~

I'll go ahead and apologize to all the people that check this regularly and haven't had any updates in the last several days. We DID make it home safely.

The drive home was Kristin's worst nightmare. Every bump in the road was painful. The 5 hour drive turned into about 9 hours. She was never more relieved then the minute we pulled into our driveway.

Since then, the "nurse button" somehow got switched around and seemed to be directed at me. Even though it was hard work, it was fun to spend that quality time caring for Kristin. It was a full time job, however, hence the poor blog updates...

She has made big improvements over the last couple of days. She is starting to be able to do a lot of things on her own. She's starting to get a pretty decent appetite and she's also walking around the house a little without any help from the walker or a person. Some of the pain has subsided, being replaced by discomfort. Just the first step toward full recovery.

This is going to probably conclude my updates. Thanks to all who read and posted comments. They were very encouraging. The next update will probably come from Kristin herself...when she feels up to sitting at the uncomforatble computer desk chair for a while.

Thanks again.....
