Jan is into a full routine of physical and occupational therapy lasting a total of three hours each day. It is very taxing on her. Without the full use of her pelvis, her legs feel like they weigh several tons. Yet they have her doing fairly agressive leg exercises. The first day the physical stress and pain drove her to tears. She is at the front end of this, so as time goes on her strength and capability will grow. In the meantime, pain management is a challenge. They are trying different types of pain medication, trying to find the right combination that will enable her to mitigate the pain that is the result of this aggressive therapy.
She continues to fight through it, although it drives her to the limit at times.
Again, we are deeply appreciative of all the help and kindness that you are giving us. Please continue to pray for Jan.
