Three Beautiful Things 07/03/18: Great News for Christy, Project Completed, The Deke to the Rescue

1. Christy had one of her best days since her surgery. Her physical therapist, Rusty visited early in the afternoon and decided that, starting next Monday, Christy will be mobile enough to go to the physical therapy clinic uptown three days a week. Not only that, but he encouraged Christy, as best she can, to walk around the house without her cane. While I was getting the ice therapy machine ready during Rusty's visit, he had Christy lift her leg and stretch it out so I could see her do something she was able to do for the first time today.

In addition, Christy, her local nurse, and the medical people in CdA all agreed that it had been too soon for Christy to begin to cut back on pain medication and so she had one of her better nights of sleep on Monday night leading into Tuesday. As an added bonus, Everett slept through the night as well and he was in much better shape and better spirits on his birthday today.

2. After many hours of transferring folders and files, and checking folders with folders inside them to make sure they all made the electronic journey onto my new external storage drive, I completed this project. Not all the sub-folders had made the trip, so I was very happy I took the time to double check them all. Today I listened to the Buddy Guy and the Acoustic Blues stations on Pandora and it helped relieve the tedium of this project.

3. The Deke went uptown to Radio Brewing this afternoon to meet with Paige. Paige brought a couple of knitted sweaters she'd been working on. She needed help correcting some problems. It turned out that Paige consulted the right knitter. It took a lot of time, but the Deke was able to help Paige get the problem figured out and back on the right track with her sweaters.  For any of you knitters reading this, I wish I could tell you what the deal was. All I know is that it was complicated, but well within the range of the Deke's expertise.
