After a busy albeit emotional weekend cleaning the house, yesterday it was nice to return to our schedule. I rose early and knocked out a few hours of work before anybody else woke up. After breakfast the boys hit the books and worked into the afternoon. By the middle of the afternoon, we were all mentally exhausted and in need of a break. Thankfully the weather cooperated and we were able to spend a few hours playing outside.
The weather is supposed to be cooperative today, so I suspect that we will have a similar schedule. As long as the temperature stays above freezing, I plan to spend as much time outside as possible. I know that we will be stuck inside when winter rolls around, so I want to take full advantage of the opportunities. Playing in the cool air with the boys is invigorating and it makes my heart happy.
If everything goes as scheduled, today will be the last day I will be wearing an uncomfortable leg. Tomorrow I am supposed to pick up my new leg and I couldn't be more excited. I'm also nervous because anytime a change is made to my prosthesis I feel an increase in phantom pain. I'm not looking forward to a few sleepless nights, but I'm optimistic that the pain will be short lived.
