Happy Birthday!

Today is Matt's birthday! When he woke up this morning, he asked me what I was going to do for his birthday. I said, "Honey, I'm going to treat you to one hour of physical therapy!" After all, there's no better time to start physical therapy than on one's birthday, right?! :O) We'll have a bigger celebration this weekend.

Today's therapy was pretty much to get the preliminaries out of the way. We were hoping he'd only have to go to one or two sessions, and then do the rest of it at home. But, it looks like he'll be going twice a week for a little while anyway. They measured several things today....they measured the distance he could turn his head to the right and left (there was about a 10 degree difference), and they also measured the strength in his right and left arm...there was a huge difference there...almost half, in fact. His right arm is alot weaker than the left....all because of those herniated discs. They did a little bit of traction to see if it would ease the numbness and tingling in his arm....so far, it didn't. They gave him some exercises to do at home with a strict warning not to do more than they gave him. He goes back Friday for more therapy. We're hoping/praying it'll help.

I still don't have batteries for my camera so sorry, still no pics. I'm hoping to get some tomorrow. I've got to get fall pictures before the leaves all go away! We're still having very chilly mornings....down in the mid to high thirties with frost. The days are just beautiful and up in the 60s or so.

Hope to be back posting in a few days with some pictures. A blog can be rather boring without them, huh? :O) (Don't answer that!) See ya soon!
