Staples and Stitches Out

My mother-in-law Brenda came this past Saturday to stay for 2 weeks. She has been a great help as she has been taking me to doctors appointments, helping cook and clean, and taking me out to the mall, etc. It's been fun!

I went to the doctor and they said my wounds look great! They took out my stitches and staples in both my arm and foot. They told me I could get them wet in the shower (but not soak them) which was music to my ears.

I start physical therapy next week on both my foot and arm, which means I can put weight on my foot next week. I also went to the Infectious Disease doc and he wants me to stay on IV antibiotics for at least 2 more weeks to be sure we get the infection cleared out.

I am excited about physical therapy (although it will hurt)! :-)
