Rick had an appointment with his surgeon yesterday and he did not hear what he had been thinking he was going to hear. Yes, the xray showed that the leg is healing wonderfully (Praise be to God!), yes the range of motion is wonderful (Praise be to God!), yes his leg is nice and tan (thanks be to the Sun God!!!), absolutely NO can he begin putting weight on that leg (holy Sh*t!). He wants Rick to use the "scooter" for at least 2 more weeks, then start using his crutches to start placing his left leg into his walk gait. Rick was all fired up to begin putting weight on his leg yesterday and had penciled in a 9-hole golf date with his good buddy Guy in 2 weeks (are you serious I said.). Needless to say that Rick was pissed at the world yesterday afternoon and night. All and all, it was a great news appointment, and they just don't want Rick going all out (my Rick would never do that! Whatever!) and messing up the leg and having to go back in and operate on it.....and neither do I! As I told him, "It is what it is" and I am thankful that this is all we are having to deal with healthwise!
Our 4th of July was uneventful and relaxing, Halleujah! We spent the day swimming and eating at Bebe and Gangan's house and watched the fireworks extravaganza next door at our good friends/neighbor's the Hubbards!

I'm thankful his leg is getting better. Like Rick would go all out and do something else to his leg.....ummm.... yes, he would.
