Doctor's Visit for Another Shot & Getting Ready for Christmas 12/22-23/2008

Monday morning bright and early we headed out to the doctor's office for Mom to get her second in a series of 3 shots for her back. All went well compared to last time as she had the shot and was actually able to walk out of the doctor's office on her own. She felt pretty good at the moment as the only thing that really hurt was the injection site. She did say the doctor wants her to start physical therapy immediately, if not sooner, for her foot drop as he is afraid the muscle in her leg is withering, not good news. He also is setting up a consultation with a surgeon to talk over her options should the PT and the 3rd shot don't work. He was talking about scraping, removing and fusing bones, something Mom doesn't even want to think about. We stopped and did a few errands at the store and were on our way back to the house to finish our Christmas baking. We finished that had lunch, watched TV for awhile, took a short walk and by that time it was dinner time and we joined Ed, Mary Lee, Charlie, Liz and Bob at Sticky Fingers to eat and had a great time and great food.
Tuesday I went and did my Christmas shopping and after I got back Mom went out and did a couple of things she had left to do. We don't really usually exchange gifts but this year we decided to just get each other a few small things as we hope to get a new HDTV and Dish Network for the RV after Christmas when the TV's all go on sale. I wrapped Mom's presents and then watched some TV, took a walk with Muffy & Raggs and had lunch. Mom got back and we did our cookie tins for this year and unfortunately there were a lot less then there usually are. We had dinner and went out to Myra and Mark's with their cookies and vissited for awhile and came back home. Well that's about it for now so we will say until tomorrow Christmas Eve we love and miss you all. Mom & Dad
