Greetings & Salutations Faithful Stapleton Blog Readers
Well it’s been a while since a good non-rant update so here we go.
Since the last update
- I have returned to health after seeking drugs at HIMG the Sunday after my last post.
- Spent 14 nights in various Hampton Inn’s
- Jess continues to have therapy
- Petey & Phoebe’s skin infection has cleared up
- Jess’s mom’s stress test come back ok (probably because I was not in the room)
- Jess’s Step Dad Rick returned to work this week
- Mom’s has found 2 cataracts (that would be one per eye)
- Laura has the flu and looks like death (in fact I think death would have came to get her but he is afraid to enter her room)
As you can tell things have been busy around here as normal.
Tuesday will begin Jess’s 10th week off of work and stir craziness is abound. She continues to make slow steady progress. After not seeing her for 9 straight days I did notice a difference in her mobility when I came home. But the level of pain and frequency of migraines since the wreck is still present. We have been and continue to pray for her recovery; we also appreciate all the random acts of prayer that are coming our way. We have high hopes that the pain management specialist she is going to see will be able to help, her appointment in the first week of April. It is our hope that we can find some kind of pain relief that will allow her to function and return her life to some form of normalcy. Currently all the pain medications that we have found to work, also make her think that she is Chairing a Board Meeting with the Care Bears. She continues to do therapy several times a week but her improvement can only be measured with inches and she needs to travel about a mile. Jess continues to do everything as instructed by her doctors but this is just a slow recovery. Like I said before broken bones would have been healed by now soft tissue heals when it feels like it. Jess continues to keep up with her school work and her professors have been great in working with her.
I mean while have been crazy busy at work with travel. Several projects are coming together simultaneously and it has been a bear. Also this week I received word that another deal I was working on fell into place and will keep me VERY busy going into the Summer. You add that to the fact that I am just plain worn out and it makes for an interesting day every day. I am looking forward to staying in town for the next few weeks before I head out again. Hopefully by that time we should have a better idea of what the immediate future holds for Jess.
Thank you all for your prayers & cards Jess & I really appreciate them. Well that’s about it for today that’s the news and I am outta here!
