Time with the Family (Part II)

My family left on Saturday and on Sunday Charissa and I decided that we would go meet up with her Mom and Dad down in Avila beach (about a 2 1/2 hour drive). We knew that they would be down there but were really hesitant to go as I can't do anything, Charissa would have to take care of all the bags and Noelle which is hard for her since she isn't feeling good due to baby number 2 (more on that to come). But we decided it would be really nice to get out of the house for a night and just go.

As I'm laying here on the couch writing this I definitely think this was a good choice. The drive isn't bad at all, and all we did was eat, relax, nap and go to the pool. Grandpa and Grandma were thrilled about our decision to come and basically babysat the whole time. Noelle is the first grand baby on Charissa's side so you can imagine the excitement for her parents when they get to be with her...it is fun.

Tomorrow I go in to the doc for the second follow up as well as to get the stitches out. I'll be able to find out when I can start trying to walk and if I have to go to physical therapy. I must say that I am getting pretty good at crutching myself around although I have had some close calls, like falling down the stairs or just getting off balance and looking for anything that can support my weight so I don't come crashing down. Looking forward to having both feet again!

Dude, that picture of your daughter in the pool is awesome.

Physical therapy? One word: painful.

Glad to hear you had a good time with the fam and things are going a little better.
