Moving while incapacitated
On March 16th I had my surgery to repair the tear of my ACL. Everything went well but the doctor found a little more damage in the area than originally thought to be there. The last two weeks have been very, very, difficult for me because I haven't been able to do anything. I went to see the doc on March 25th for a one week post-op visit. They were very pleased with my progress so far and told me to begin putting weight on my leg with the crutches. It's not as easy as it sounds. They also told me that I could begin physical therapy but of course I have to wait on TriCare to give their approval before I can do anything with that. There is no telling as to when I will actually begin PT but as long as I get enough in so that I can walk without crutches and drive I will be a happy camper. So this is how things are going right now with our move to Oki. The movers didn't come today because there was a crash of the computer system that schedules all the moves because of the recalls of shipments due to the earthquake/tsunami in Japan. That would be a good thing if I were able to get up and actually do something. However when my son gets home from school I am going to enlist his help in going through my shoes in order to get some of them in the household goods shipment. I can also sit here and fill out the forms to get him registered for school in Okinawa and make phone calls to have phone services cut off and the satalite TV disconnected. I can't believe we only have four more weeks here and then Oki here we come. It hasn't been an easy two months but it could have been much worse. At least I can do some of the things that need to get done. Bye, until next time.
