Update from the doctor's office

We're at the eye doctor's office this morning for a fluorescein angiogram to see how Sally's diabetes has possibly damaged her eyes and what can be done about it.

Her legs are getting stronger.  The rehab therapy is working wonders.  She said this morning that she needs to work harder at doing her exercises in between her therapy sessions.  She still has some balance issues resulting in her feeling a little unsteady from time to time.  We got her a cane and that makes her feel a little safer.  She's not using it to support her weight, just to steady herself.

Sally's blood sugar is doing well!  Mostly it's under 100 so the diet and insulin regimen is doing its job.  She's sleeping well, arising a couple of times each night just for potty breaks.
