Making Progress!

Today was three weeks and (thanks to the New Year's Day holiday) one day since Hubby Tony went to his surgeon's appointment and got his walking boot. 

That gave him a lot more freedom, but he still couldn't drive. Every time he left the house we went though the same procedure to get from our second-story condo to the basement garage. Leave the unit and wheel to the first set of stairs. Hand the knee walker over to me to carry down the stairs, then hop down on one foot. Repeat the process on the first floor. Once in the garage, wheel over to the car and get in. When the trip was over do everything in reverse.

During his appointment today Tony learned that he can start putting weight on his healing ankle. It will take another four weeks of gradually increasing weight bearing, but he's quite excited. As we left the parking garage he suggested we stop for a celebratory dinner. We decided on the location of the Hi-Pointe Drive-In closest to our house. My Frisco Melt and Sweet Potato Tots wasn't fancy, but they really hit the spot.
