Hello all,

I have been home for about a week and I guess things are going well, Amy has not asked for a divorce yet:) It is so great to be home with the family, I think the most exited family member to see me was Sam the dog:). It is a lot of work for everyone but well worth it. Amy has been incredible and patient in helping me. I know it is a lot of work for her and want her to know that I appreciate everything. The best part is that I get to be home for Katie's birthday tomorrow. I am just glad that I get to be here to see her turn eight years old. I have a nurse come to the house twice a week and a physical therapist who comes three times a week. So far so good. Once again thank you for all your continued support and concern.

Love, Joe

So for now I will be receiving in home rehabilitation for approximately 4-1/2 weeks, until I can bear weight on my right leg. Once I can bear weight I will be going to out patient therapy. So no more mystery meat from the rehab center, just suspicious slop from home. Due to me leaving the center and the inclement weather coming I needed a new ride . I would like to thank...

March 06 Hello all, I am doing great and recovering well. Coming home was the best thing that could have happened for me. My in home therapist is doing a much better job than I was getting at Ballard. The swelling in my right leg is starting to go down, and I am dropping a few of my medications. I have an appointment with my Orthopedic Surgeon on Tuesday, and I am hoping for good news. I have approx. 3 more weeks until I can bear weight on my right leg. I am waiting for this weather to break so I can...
