Good morning, it is 9:29 am. First of all, I apologize for not getting a blog together last night. Got a little bit busy around here just getting Mary back to a routine here. We got home around 3:30 or so. That was after doing a little bit of shopping in St. Louis. First, we went to Target and got a few things. Mary went in the wheelchair during that visit, and she did real well. I thought after the Target trip we would be done. Oh no, not with Mary in the car. Then she has to call Rita for directions to REI. (I think that's what it was). We find that store, and Mary did that whole store with just her cane. We walked in and went directly up the stairs, 2 flights, and began our search for what she wanted. She did well, but got a little tired by the time we left. She is doing well this morning, and I know she is very happy to be home. It definitely seems a little more normal around here. We will beginning doing her exercises here pretty soon, just trying to get into a normal routine of therapy. Some of her actual therapy starts on Monday, so we are just trying to keep her doing some things up until then. Thanks you all for your comments. Mary will start reading them all real soon. I know she will be as touched I was reading them all. Thanks.
