48 Hours

The last 48 hours have been a world wind.
Friday was the last day of PT and OT. Lots of people stopped by to say goodbye.
PT Kate and Scott


Mary Kay - sweet Mary Kay


Lorraine - she was feelin' the love


Missy - she was feeling sad

Very sad. See Becca in the background, I missed her hug.



Quite a few came to get a look at the circus freak with the exposed tendon.
Just kidding. We invited the students to come and see the tendon. You'll notice I'm teaching the class (scary isn't it) and this photo was hard to edit so you all didn't lose your lunch, (breakfast, midnight snack - whatever).


A few people brought presents.
Rachel with the temporary bad ass wheelchair


A few people even tried to make it so that Scott couldn't leave. Kate's plan might have worked if she wasn't so tiny. Seriously, look at how far off her feet are.


The southside finally gave in and graciously served the northside.

There was a party in OT in the 3 minutes I ran to my car.

I always miss out on the fun.

Fast Forward to Saturday Morning

Quite a few gathered to send Scott off.

Kathy came in on her day off (BigDan did too but he was with Lucky Dog outside), Heather, Janet, Veronica and Lester. Oh gosh how I miss all of them. It's really hard without them.

Departing Kathy and BigDan was painful. They feed us so well and take such excellent care of Scott, and really me too.
Even Lucky didn't want us to go.


Speaking of food

A dinner surrounded by family. Is there anything better?

Seriously, how good does he look? That transfusion really helped. Well, that and not being in the hospital.


For my OT girls - Scott is getting no break from "working out".


Turns out dressing dolls is challenging.

For Kathy - a peek at my supply closet. Jealous? Couldn't have done it with out you.


And finally for me....


As I've been working on this post for the last hour I've heard both Scott and Kate snore softly over their monitors. Two very peaceful, very content, very happy, very special loves.

There are not enough words in the world to say all the things I want to say. I'm filled with strength, courage, hope, love, faith and serenity.

I was struggling in my mind to find the right words to convey my gratitude.
And then it found me in the McDonalds drive thru as I picked up Scott's first meal as a free man.
