I can tell by the sound of her voice as soon as we begin to talk.
I can tell when she is in pain.
It's as it should be.
The knowing I mean, not the pain.
It's starting to feel like I'm dragging this out.
It's unintentional, I assure you.
It is a reflection of the real life we live.
Sugar-coating it will give a false impression.
So will refusing to acknowledge improvement.
We had a great night out on St. Patrick's day.
Kathy wore shoes on both of her feet for the first time.
Danced for the first time since the accident...
And paid the price.
As impressive as it was to everyone who saw Kathy out,
(and it was impressive)
by the time we drove home, Kathy could barely make it into the house.
Still, It is almost like I could write an instruction for you to reference previous posts and save time for us all.
Kathy is getting better.
Long way to go still.
For the next few months, rewind and reread those two sentences daily.
Ted and Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI have truly enjoyed reading every word you have written. It has helped so much to know where Kathy is in her recovery. It sounds like she is doing incredibly well.
Ted, you are an awesome writer and conveyor of thoughts.
Kathy, you are amazing.
Love you both!
