Rachal's leg update

rickvsLast time the doctor looked at Rachal's leg, he said the rod he'd placed in the thicker shin bone (tibia) was staying put nicely, and that she could start doing some limited walking (even forgoing the boot indoors, but using the walker as needed). I didn't realize until that appointment that he'd left the broken pieces of the thinner calf bone (fibula) afloat in her leg, to knit on their own -- and perhaps occasionally to snap apart and re-knit, which is what I think happened a couple of weeks ago. The doctor said it was nothing to worry about; that the metal rod in the thicker bone would keep her leg from folding under her, and he didn't want to attach plates to the thinner bone unless he had to.
So she should be moving back upstairs with me sometime in the near future. I've nearly got the living room rearranged the way I want it, for her ease of movement. But I'm not quite there yet.
In other news, my twentieth high school reunion was last Friday. I didn't go, but didn't realize until recently that I was on their M.I.A. list. So a few of my old schoolmates may be sticking their heads in (*waves*). I should probably start posting nostalgic memories of my teenage years, but it'll have to wait for another post.
