The Turning Point

Guys . . . I just had to share the good news. This past weekend was huge for E. He had what he could only describe as "the turning point" in his recovery. On Sunday morning, he woke up and felt GREAT. Hardly any pain in his arm, wrist, or hand--and no need to take any medication for pain relief. The combination of the two meant that he was able to enjoy the first day since Easter without pain from his accident, or nausea from his medicine. We spent the whole day with the boys. It was sunny here with quite a chill in the air, so we went out to lunch and even to the park. It was just a really good day.

And today was great too--to celebrate 6 months as Mr. and Mrs. Dyer we went out to our favorite sushi restaurant, (Tsunami) and then to see 27 Dresses. Not bad, and totally got me in the mood for my sister's wedding coming up next month. (Note from Eric: Actually I have a different review of 27 Dresses. "Not good").

Very funny--I'll remember that the next time I find myself hiding behind a bag of popcorn while he's enjoying the next horror installment from Japan . . . in the meantime, I'll be grateful that Eric's back in both good health and quick wit.

6 Whole Months of Wedded Bliss

Do you guys know what today is? Yup. Exactly . . . today, Eric and I have been married for exactly six months. Happy Anniversary!!

Whoa. It's 11:56 p.m. I better post this, so that it chimes in as 4/21 and not 4/22 . . . that would sure be a travesty.

A Quick Update . . .

Hi guys--just wanted to let you know that Eric is doing really well. He had his first physical therapy appointment on Monday. In addition to giving him some exercises to do at home, they changed the dressing on his injury, and I'm happy to report that he's now sporting a fabulous all-black splint, (with matching black velcro straps). It's much more comfortable for him, and it's just plain cool. You should see how they made it! They took this soft, moist, black material out of a sunken heated storage unit in the counter and layed it over Eric's arm. They wanted his fingers at 30 degrees . . . so the physical therapist gently molded it over his hand, wrist, and arm until it hardened. At that point, they trimmed it so it only covered the top of him and added the velcro so it stays put. It's just the neatest thing . . . I'll post a picture soon.

And today is his first day back. He'll be going in for a half day, and taking it easy. Good Luck Sweetie!
