Hopeful...

A gentleman came on Friday and fitted Lori's house arrest anklet....uh...bone stimulator.  Ha!  It is a little embarrassing because it does seem to look like a house arrest anklet, so luckily it needs to only be worn 3 hours per day on each site so no going out in public like that!



 
The good news is that the bone stimulator needs to be worn 3 hours a day, however more does not hurt, so we're going on 9-12+ hours a day.  Let's hope for the best!  The medical representative that fitted the device said that they have proven to see a 80-85% success rate.

Physical Therapy has now stopped/been put on hold until further notice.  Nothing changes other than the slight weight Lori can bear on it and stretching, so we're in a wait pattern until Oct. 16 when the x-rays and doctor visit take place.  In the meantime, Lori has been busying herself with scrapbooking to pass the time -  having fun and miraculously catching up (well...kind of).
