Christmas Shopping :)

Looks like the first week of December is going to be pretty busy!  Mark has an MRI on the Monday after Thanksgiving.  Then his surgeon, oncologist, and radiation oncologist each want to discuss the results with him at three separate appointments on the following Wednesday and Thursday.  We'll have more of an idea about any treatment after that.

He has 5 more physical therapy sessions this month, and then they will reevaluate and decide if he would benefit from more sessions.  While maybe not as quick as he would like, he is seeing improvement in the strength and function of his right leg and foot.  The toes are a little slower to follow though, which does affect his walking.  We are trying to look at the bright side:  we get to park in the handicapped spaces for now, which is going to make Christmas shopping a whole lot easier!  :)

  1. Kim, you always make me smile! I continue to pray for you and your family! A question from Irmie Webster and Sandy Rehnstrom. They would love to comment on this but their emails are through comcast. How do they pick a profile? They want you to know they have been reading and praying....just haven't been able to comment!
    Love you,
    Peggy

  2. Oh good, I like making you smile, cuz you make me smile too! :D
    As for Irmie and Sandy's question... I think they just click the word "follow" in the top left corner of the blog, and follow the prompts from there. Maybe you have to have a Blogspot account first? I have a Comcast email too, and was able to do it, so I'm not sure where the glitch is. I'm sorry, that's probably not very helpful!
    Tell them to email me if all else fails... Thanks!
