It's been too long...

since I have done regular posting. I now hope to start again as I have really missed putting my thoughts, ideas, and opinions in writing. I am finally getting my blood sugar levels down to a manageable level and as a result I have more energy and desire to do things. Also, with Tammi becoming more independent it is releasing me from so much responsibility and allowing me to do more for myself. My schedule has changed as I have been assigned the 10am-7pm shift. Since I did it for four years at my last employer it has not been a big adjustment and actually I am happier with this schedule. Everyone leaves @ 5pm except for a few of us so it becomes very quiet and peaceful. It also allows me more time in the mornings to help get Tammi ready before we leave.

Here is the latest photo of Tammi's wound. It has healed significantly since last week. On Monday January 8th, 2007 it was 9.5 cm deep. Yesterday, Monday January 15th, 2007 the depth was only 4.5cm. So in one week her wound shrunk by over 50%. This is very good news as it means she can have her second operation in the near future. We do not know yet if it will be on her right knee or right wrist but I am guessing it will be her wrist. She will need it for rehabilitation.
