A thank you and some bony news
To my coworker who wishes to remain anonymous. I don’t know if you read my blog. (Yes, I know there are people in the world that don’t read it, as shocking as that may seem.) Thank you very much. I’m really touched. I don’t know what else to say.
RB took CJ out to Philadelphia for his ortho checkup. Every year he goes out there to have his neck and feet checked. His neck is checked for atlantoaxial subluxation, which has to do with the relationship between C1 and C2. Some xrays are required do check this. There was a period of two years that we couldn’t let him do somersaults and such because we were trying to prevent spinal cord injury. I’m thrilled to say that the doctors have cleared CJ for another year and he can participate in all activities! They also checked his feet. His feet are hard to explain, he doesn’t have an arch and his feet lean in as a result. I’ve always thought it looked uncomfortable because even the ankles seem to be effected. The doctors said that since he gets around with no problem and they don’t seem to hurt him they also got a thumbs up.
TJ didn’t go to school today. He seems to have similar cold symptoms to the ones that I’ve had for a week now. He went with RB on the trip to Philadelphia during the snow. Somehow after leaving the hospital to come home they ended up heading south on I-95 instead of North. I don’t know how RB does this folks, I had printed three sets of directions and he said he had the GPS.
I went to PT tonight. The first thing the physical therapist said when I came in is “I’ve been looking forward to you coming in, are you going to make me laugh some more”. I did. She did not return the favor. I was hurting when I left. The little trampoline (the one I told her I couldn’t jump on because I find black eyes unsightly on a lady) seems to have increased the amount of pain on the right.
What an amazing thing, that everyone got off of the plane that came down in the Hudson River safely. That’s about an hour north of me. My brother, LB2, works right there and watched a lot of it happen.
Thank God tomorrow is Friday!
