Happy April!

I'm posting from Starbucks in the medical center while Sally has her rehab therapy.  On the way over this morning, she said "You know, the only lingering problem that I have from my heart attack is the pain/discomfort in my leg!"  Isn't that good news?

The second eye laser treatment last week went well.  Less pain than the first time.  being aware of her travel plans, Dr. Mein wants to see her on April 6th to evaluate whether surgery is possible to correct the swollen "rippled" retinal surface.  

Sally's therapy is really helping her mobility.  They are now practicing on the stairs as well as continuing to build her overall strength.  

She saw the podiatrist yesterday who examined her feed and trimmed her nails.  He's prescribed a B vitamin which he says will help with the neurothapy.  Also, he believes there is a device that we can obtain that will make it much easier for her to get those pesky compression hose on.  We'll see if we can find this.

Sally's doctor appointments in Alabama have been changed and grouped together for the first two weeks of May so our current plans are to be back in Arab on May 1st.  She's ready to be back home.
