~Hubby Update~

Larry is almost 3 weeks out of surgery now and things are healing well, at least the outside incisions. We go back to the surgeon on Monday to get x-rays to see how his bones inside are healing. Hopefully that will be doing well also. He is really bored and tired of sitting around the house, but does not yet have the energy (not eating properly to regain strength) to do anything either..
We got out last Saturday and rode around and checked out some of the lakes close by. He seemed to enjoy that. We got out a couple of times and did some walking, not much, just a little.. Just so he could get that in. He is supposed to walk at least 3 times a day. He has increased it to where he is walking about 20 minutes each walk. Mentally he is ready to go back to work, but physically, no where near ready yet.. He drives ALOT in his job. He covers all Central US from Canadian to Mexican Borders, covering 12 states.. Most of that he drives. On Wednesday night prior to Surgery he had driven in from Iowa.. Right now, he is no where near ready to start driving that kind of distance.. But he will be... He will have to start out driving shorter distances and build up to that kind of driving again. When he leaves, he may not stop for 4-5 hours and then it is just to fuel up and hit the road again. He will have to learn to stop every 2 hours or so and get out and walk a little bit... But that too he will learn how to do.
We are hoping to go to Roy's this weekend for a little bit, not sure how long we will be able to stay, but he says he needs to see Roy, They really hit if off last August when we went to get my swing that Roy had built for me. Mom and dad are supposed to go with us.. We may go over to the lake tomorrow and spend the day with mom and dad, not sure how Larry will be feeling when I get home. I am back to work 6 hours a day, That leaves him alone 8 hours and I do not like doing that, but I have to close out the year at work, so I have to be here some..
Speaking of work, I have invoices to process...

Later... Keep praying for strength, him and ME!!!!!
