Rome is Home & We Sold the Truck

I should have said, Brian and Connie sold the truck. THANK YOU! I just have to mail the check to the leasing company tomorrow and we are truck free. Thanks to Brian and Connie we were able to sell it for just over the pay-off amount, so we didn't have to pay anything to get out of the lease agreement:)

Now for the exciting news; Jeremy came home tonight. We were planning on leaving at noon, but the orthodics company picked up his super-suit brace to make some adjustments. They trimmed off some of the sides that had been digging into his hips. He says it is way more comfortable now. In fact, he's been wearing it since we left the hospital four hours ago. He might even try sleeping in it so that he can roll on his side for pressure relief.

We convinced the doctors that he shouldn't have to take Lovenox, the anti-blood clot shots, anymore. The one-month supply was going to cost us four thousand dollars and Jeremy doesn't particulary enjoy giving himself a shot in the abdomen every morning. They said he should be fine if he is walking about 1000 ft a day. Since he has to use the walker to get in the bathroom and bedroom anyway, we think he will be active enough to not get blood clots.

The girls played with Kaylee (thanks Kyle and Karen) after we got home so that we had time to settle in and unpack. Kyle and Karen unloaded the car for us, which was no easy task. I pretty much filled up the trunk and entire back seat with stuff that had accumulated at the rehab motel. Before bedtime the girls wrestled with each other on the bed next to Jeremy, who did his best to pitch in from time to time. We are very happy to be home together again. Jeremy's first physical therapy appointment isn't until Thursday, so we will enjoy staying at home tomorrow.

Thank you for your service and prayers.
ps Mom, we picked up a month's supply of the testosterone patches today. James, his roommate, said Jeremy will probably want to watch WWWF and football all the time now:)
