It Has Been A Long Week

Jenny had her One Month post surgery appointment on Monday and the doctors decided that she was healed enough to be able to start putting weight on her legs and they started her in physical therapy right away. We thought it would be a couple of weeks before she got to this point. They started her out with walking using the parallel bars and then moved her to a walker and had her walk some with that and then sent us home with a schedule for the next two weeks. Shriners Children's Hospital is the greatest hospital. They even are providing us with transportation every day. We are being picked up at nine in the morning. She has exercises in the physical therapy gym and then they give her a couple hours break and then take her to the therapy pool and have her exercise in the water. We then are brought back home around four in the afternoon. It makes for a long day but we pack a lunch and bring books to read. Everyday has brought new and different exercises and new advancements in her abilities. She is now able to walk with either the walker or with crutches and the only time she needs to use the wheel chair is when she is being transported to the hospital. After a weeks worth of exercises she is sore and tired. I do not blame her. I am too and all I do is walk around with her while she does all the work.
