Evening.
You had a good lunch with Rich G. and Bud C., your two still working software
engineering friends at Dickey’s, a new Texas BBQ on Mason-Montgomery Road
catty-cornered from Graeter’s. Afterwards you dropped over to Graeter’s for an
ice cream with Kim, Carol and Linda who had eaten at Olive Garden. Carol did
will with physical therapy today and is ahead of schedule. She should be free
of her cane on Monday of next week. You are well amazed she has been doing so
well. Already she is walking better than you do. – Amorella

hours. After next week the therapist thinks she will only have to go to the
Mason Community Center only twice a week. No more medicine after tonight and
only pain pills if she needs them. I asked her this afternoon after her
activities how her pain level was and Carol replied, “Two.” I have a pain level
of three to four almost every morning when I get up. Carol’s exercises are
getting more complex but they are not giving her any problem. When Carol was
walking down the street with the lady therapist this afternoon her gait was the
same as it was when she walked before the surgery and she was steadier all the
while. Lying down, she can easily raise her whole leg up ninety degrees and put
it down slowly or up slowly or faster on a whim. She can bend her knee more
than 90 degrees to 115 degrees. Carol does have a way to go in that the doctor
prefers she get to 120 degrees by the end of next week. Mary Lou is coming down
early tomorrow, taking Linda to Westerville and Saturday morning Linda catches
the plane to Tampa.
You had a busy day and are obviously still
very proud of Carol’s progress and Linda’s constant participation in it as well
as all the medical professionals along the way. Normalcy is returning and
August should be better for Carol than May and June were, that is your hope.

hours. I love modern science and technology and how the human spirit can take
advantage of this to survive better and longer. I loved the photos from Pluto
the last couple of days. What a time to be alive. I am fortunate to have lived
long enough to witness these positive aspects of Homo sapiens civilizations.
