Another Mom Update

She saw the doctor on Tuesday ( I know I am slacking on my posting and I should have done it sooner). Everything is going according to schedule and the doctor was happy where everything was and how things are going. We now only have 5 more weeks of non-weight bearing on her right leg. Her physical therapy is another issue. She hates it and we are thinking about skipping it for a while. The reason she hates it is not because it is hard or hurts. It is because they do nothing and charge a huge fee. I think they are going once a week to therapy to get the exercises and then my dad is going to help her do them. He is going to act as her therapist. This isn't as bad as it may seem. My dad actually has a pretty good back ground here. Before he owned the business I now run, he was a teacher and coach. He was a high school head football and track coach. He has an intensive and full knowledge of kineseology and all that kind of stuff. He actually diagnosed this problem exactly. He has always done this. He is right on and exactly correct and his summary is always the same as the doctor's. We don't understand it, but we are lucky and grateful for it. Physical Therapy is going to cost on the upwards of 10K and it is something we can do, so it is looking like my parents are going to forget the hospital and their 3 times a week visits. The other issue is getting my mom up and down 17 stairs each time. We don't want to re-injure the knee and that is just asking for problems. She still uses a motion machine to work on the range her knee can move. She does this 4 hours a day. So, it isn't like she is just lying there and not moving her leg. This is where we sit. Now I get to fight with the insurance company.
