Catching Up with Sally on Sunday

Sorry to be so behind on posting news.  Sally is doing well and feeling even better as the days go on.  On Saturday before last, she had her first appointment with our friend, the massage therapist.  He did lymphatic massage on both her legs and her feet.  During the massage, he was careful to cause as little pain as possible but it still hurt her as he worked.  Her legs did feel better after that first time, so we set up weekly appointments for her.  Yesterday, she had her second session and he said he could tell a big difference in her pain tolerance from the prior week.  Later Sally said that Joe must be a miracle worker for her legs didn't hurt at all through the night.

Sally talked with Dr. Hargraves' nurse about the compression hose and was told that she needs to wear them all day.  She's having some problems complying with this since wearing them cause her discomfort.  She has learned to put them on all by herself, though.

The weather here has been all over the place since Sally arrived 3 weeks ago.  She's seen lows in the 30s and highs up to 90.  But, no snow like the folks back in Arab had last week.

Clayton is really enjoying having his Aunt Sally here.  He's being a good helper:  walking with Aunt Sally, telling her when there are obstacles in her path, and holding her hand to steady her.

Sally's been attending a Beth Moore Bible Study "It's hard To be A Woman" and really enjoying it.

Karen set up a new e-mail address for Sally.  It's sallygrand@hotmail.com and we check it for her from time to time.
