Well I haven't done to well since I've been home. Lonnie is doing fairly well, it is very hard on him trying to do anything. He gets exhausted easily, which he did not expect. His ribs have been bothering him today, he had been doing really well until he sneezed. Physical therapy has started today. We have been out on the electric scooter today. Shawn modified the scooter for him so he could raise his legs. Lonnie does real well until 1100 then he is exhausted. He really enjoys company. He has had a lot of people up since we got home. He is tired when they leave but if they make him laugh he has a good time. Like Janet said he is still very emotional when he talks about all his cards and what everyone has done for him. I think he was suprised. He gets a kick out of some of the blogs. I try to read them to him but since we have been home I haven't even been on the computer. His grafts look good, bones appear to be healing , no pain from anything except his ribs at the present. As you can imagine, he hates taking orders from me about what not to do. He usually does fairly good. He has a hospital bed so he can get out of bed easier, I do daily dressing changes to his right lower leg to change the graft site. He is also taking an injection daily to help reduce the chances for a blood clot. Keep him in your prayers, now the healing will be the hard part.
