They finished installing our new solar battery system after Andy left yesterday, so he went up this morning to turn it on. He came down for lunch and to take me to Santa Fe for my doctor’s appointment, then back up to the land to start understanding how this system works differently from the old one. He won’t start using it until we get enough sun to fully charge the batteries. Needless to say, we’re relieved it’s installed.
The doctor’s appointment — we were both looking forward to it. It was the three-month follow-up x-ray of my fractured hip. The x-ray six weeks ago said the bone had healed. This one says there is even more bone in that area. That’s what had been hoping for because I’ve been doing weight-bearing exercises to strengthen it. Anyway, I’ve been officially discharged from their care.
Monday I have my last visit from the Visiting Nurses physical therapist. I could continue with PT over at the medical center, but unless something happens I will just continue with the exercises I’ve been doing at home. I need to continue them but I’m already noticing a slow but steady improvement.
I should mention that it’s been five weeks since I started with Merry Maids, and having an uncluttered apartment is still one of my top priorities. That part is working fine. I love the way it looks and I’m automatically putting things away rather than getting immersed in projects.
All in all things are going well!

Take care and stay safe. Praying for you.
God bless.
Thanks. 🙂
This is all wonderful to hear. I’m so glad you have done so well in your recovery. Those exercises really do make a difference.
Thanks. 🙂
I am so happy for the good report. I need to.work on the clutter in our space.
Thanks. 🙂
…keep putting one foot in front of the other!
Yes. 🙂
You’ve had a fast and fantastic recovery. The solar system is a very good idea. Order in your home is a comfort.
I didn’t mind it when things got messy because I was immersed in a project. I would eventually get in the mood and straighten it again. That’s no longer guaranteed, so it’s time to change tactics.
What a good report! Now you will have a little freedom from clinic visits, too. Nice! Enjoy! 🙂
Thanks. 🙂
Good luck with the solar battery system. That is excellent news on your hip. What a busy day you had. I had physical therapy earlier this year and now I do the exercises here at home. You will be fine doing them at home. I should get a maid but still not ready. I have to admit that today, for the first time, I am pushing myself to start the decluttering. Take care.
You don’t necessarily need a maid. Merry Maids are expensive, but two of them come for about an hour and forty minutes every other week. That’s enough for us here and having them here isn’t too onerous. I like the fact there are two of them. They have company and it halves the time they are here.
Such wonderful news from your medical team!
Thanks. 🙂
Great news all the way around. Looking forward to seeing how the solar battery system works out.
We will let you know. 🙂
What uplifting news … both from the hilltop and your doctor!
I’m sure you’re a great example to the others at rehab.
My doctor seemed happy, and so did I. 🙂
You go, girl! It still amazes me what a difference simply putting things away makes. I just wish I always did it. 🙂
Thanks. I’m pleased that it’s starting to bother me when things need to be put away. Who would have guessed that would ever happen? It’s so easy now that I’m not hobbling along with a walker.. 🙂
Spectacular news about your healing and progress and dismissal from the medicos! Congratulations!
Thanks. 🙂
great news all round for you both
Thanks. 🙂
