Quick Updates

 Yesterday marked one week since we won best costume in the Gateway Variety Show...and Ryan won worst ankle. 

This has definitely NOT been his favorite week. He hates sitting. :) 

But I am super proud of him, because he has done everything he can to make sure he heals in the least invasive way possible.

Ice baths.

Elevation.

Compression.

Stretching.

Massage.

Careful walking.

And now look!

He's not up to his regular speed, but he is moving without crutches again! I fear he overdid it a little yesterday. A couple of things in our building stopped working, so he had to do some climbing around on ladders to do repairs. I wouldn't be surprised if he is sore today. And this weekend is Gateway's Auction, so I can't imagine he'll elevate like he needs to. But it's okay. We'll rest up after that.

I was thinking last night that it was exactly one week earlier when he got hurt. I'm so glad it's this week over last week! I'm so glad the swelling is finally going down. I'm glad he doesn't have to do ice baths every two hours anymore. I'm glad he can walk unencumbered. I'm glad we've gotten to take a couple of careful, slow walks.

Thanks for checking in on him this week! He has appreciated the kind texts and emails. He's not healed yet, but he is feeling better and able to do more than stare at the ceiling from the couch!
