What we've been up to:
Larry: Physical therapy twice a day, getting up and walking 4 times a day, CPM machine total 8 hours a day.
Becky: Giving LT pain meds every two hours. Changing his leg on the CPM machine every two hours. Emptying Mr. Piss (he's become a friend). Changing the ice machines every four hours. Answering Larry's bell. Running errands for things like a dinner tray and warm up pants with a fly... and Christmas shopping.
Hayley: Since the real physical therapist only comes 3 times a week I have become the physical therapist every day. Which means, exercises on each leg, which take about 1/2 hour, walking him around (with the walker) 4 times a day, and then helping my mom with the above list. I'm also the pain scheduler - every night I write up the pain med schedule and put the meds in little marked cups for the night and day ahead.
Riley: Comes around as often as he's not working. He's the do everything man. He'll do anything anyone needs.
Grant: Comes after work to go on ice runs and watch football or whatever is on TV with the Wolf. He's good at taking his mind off the pain.
...
This afternoon he walked out the front door, down the side walk, up the driveway and up 3 stairs in the garage... pretty good.

Wow. The Wolf is high maintenance! It's good he has such a dedicated and energetic support squad (just like at Leadville)! So glad to hear he's home. Voo must be jealous that he's getting so close to Mr. Piss. Hang in there and give our love to Wolf! Kristeen, Keith, and Mai-Mai
