Earl had a doctor report today and he was pleased with the X-Ray and said it was as he expected it to be and maybe a little better. He wants me to do away with the use of the walker gradually and said I could start putting more weight on the ankle foot. I still wear the brace boot all day but not at night now so that will be a relief during the night. I tried just using a cane after we got home this afternoon but that was'nt too smart as it caused some hurt so I will go back to the walker and will try getting by without using the electric scooter chair. It kind of spoils you for ease of getting from here to there and sort of makes you have to learn to walk again. The brace boot is to be part of me for another six weeks (yikes, that is a long time yet) and then I will see the doctor for another checkup.
Thanks for all your prayers and concern as I sure appreciated all the help it gave me.
Love from Grandpa and Dad.

We,re glad to hear you got a positive report and are able to start using the ankle more, even if it's just a little at a time.
We've been getting rain every afternoon for about a week now; not a lot at a time, but it's added up to around an inch and a half. It's really made things green up. The grass and weeds are about to get out of hand.
We're going to Farmington tomorrow for a chiropractor appointment for Galena. I've got the main beams and the cross supports all made and am working on three coats of finish on them now. I hope to get them bolted onto the truck sometime this weekend. I'll update the blog then.
Love, Larry and Galena
Hooray! Sounds like a terrific report! And you get to start putting more weight on it. It sounds like you've been behaving yourself and doing just what you needed to do. So glad to hear the news.
So glad you're progressing so well!
I'm so glad to hear you're doing well Grandpa, keep up the good work!!!
