Jan has been a bit down today. Everyday she puts out a powerful physical effort (and is enduring a lot of pain in the process), but feels that the returns are so small and incremental that it will go on forever. It's very understandable. What amazes me is how her capability improves noticably each day.
This week she has an appointment with the orthopedic specialist that treated her at the Intermountain Medical Center. Xrays and other examinations will take place. If things have been healing appropriately, the physical therapists will start allowing Jan to put weight on her right leg (which she's been prohibited to do because of the nature of the pelvic injury). They will train her to climb stairs, and then send her home. It is possible that she might be home in another week. We'll know more this coming Thursday.
