Our week was mostly focused on getting Jo up and around. She had her stitches removed and unfortunately the doctor confirmed that she will be at least six weeks without putting any weight on her right leg. But she is getting the hang of using her crutches although our Chris (our niece) did inform her she was using them wrong and that set her back a bit (Chris is a physical therapist and should know). Fortunately, work has scooters available for use and Jo scored one of these to tool around at work. This saves a lot of crutch time, plus it speeds her up getting around the building since she isn't particularly speedy on them. I have finally tapered down the jokes about Jo becoming a waitress serving pancakes with her one leg if HR doesn't work out (job at IHOP - old joke, I know but how often does it fit the circumstances). We did finish our Christmas puzzle since Jo was able to set at the table and work when she was taking a break from having her leg in her CPM torture machine.
Jo's sister, Kathy, and her friend Donna were in town for a couple of days to take in the Pink concert. Jo was supposed to go but decided that tackling the stairs at the Bradley Center wasn't in the cards. Therefore, I got to go and enjoy a truly amazing concert - especially the part where she soared over the crowd on four guy wires. Her singing was great as well. It is interesting how concerts have changed from my college days when it was just a couple of people on the stage singing. Now it is more about the entertainment instead of the actual singing. Does make for interesting concerts though.
