May

  Just a thought . . . .
I'm not sure which is busier for parents; December or May.
  I'm hoping that this year we can get through May without any illness or injury.  DD2 has decided to take off the Month of May from her activities.  No complaining here.  DD1 has a 2 hour dance class on Mondays, she's student helping in a class of 2 & 3 year olds for 45 minutes on Tuesdays, a 2 hour dance class on Wednesdays, followed by a 30 min tumbling lesson, a 1 hour dance class on Thursdays and various events on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
  In addition, we're having 2 or 3 events that happen at the same time on the weekends.
Fun, fun!

Ankle Surgery Revocery

  I am currently 9 weeks post-op and still revocering.  I had no idea that it would take this long (actually longer) to recover from this injury and surgery.  After 6.5 weeks of physical therapy (3 days/week), I can walk on a flat surface, balance on one leg and go up stairs.  Going down stairs is a whole different ball game.  My achellies is still so tight that I can't flex my ankle to 0 degrees.  That is something I work on every day.
  It seems that lately my ankle and foot have been hurting when I haven't done anything unusual.  I'm hoping that this is temporary, and that once this pain passes, my range on motion will improve.  I have 5 more physical therapy visits, on this session.  I suspect that I will be continueing after this session is over.
