April 6

Well Leslie is home and there is some good news and bad news. We went to the dr. on Tues. and the good news is that he removed the cast and her ankle fracture has healed. It is a little stiff, but now she can work on flexing it and strengthening it. The hard news is that the dr. recommended surgery on her spine. The compression fracture is the same but causing a lot of pain, even after this amount of time and with bracing. So Leslie is in the midst of getting a second opinion just to be sure of all her options. Her hypotension seems to be resolved and that is good. I think moving home has been good but as with all changes there are challenges too. Visits, cards, phone calls, meals are all appreciated. Be sure to call first.
