First week

Well its been a little over a week that my dad has came home!

Lets just say that this week has been a very very busy week. We had an doctor appointment every day. There was some days that we had two or three. It just seemed like we were on the go non stop. I swear after three months i can drive to and from Salt Lake with my eyes closed. Haha.

I didn't think running around Salt Lake would wear me out so much! When we got home all i wanted to do was sleep. I still don't think im up to sleep. Luckily this week we only have one doctor appointment. So we can relax a little more this week. But still im non spot on the go. With my dad not being able to do much on his own, i feel like im up and down all day! My dad will need a drink, or is hungry, or has to go to the bathroom, or anything. Its like im on my feet 24/7. I love doing it cause its for my dad, but i get worn out so fast. My feet kill me and my back. He is starting to do something on his own but im a mother hen and don't want him doing much cause im scared he might fall. I need to start letting him do these things, or i will be so worn out i cant do anything.

So my dad is doing wonderful! He is back to who he was, and Thursday he was fitted for his arm!! They say that we should get his arm in about 2 weeks.

Here is a picture that my dad will look like. Well it will be just like this but with the hook. Then after my dad gets used to the hook, they will more him to the hand.
This hand is pretty amazing, it works by the movement or your muscles. My dad will just move the muscle that moved his wrist before and the wrist will stay moving. Same thing with his fingers. When my dad was trying it out, i wanted to see how much it would pinch. Well......lets just say my dad about broke my finger. It KILLED.. But it was pretty funny cause my dad was trying to let my finger go but he wasn't able to, so we were both freaking out.

We cant wait for him to get his hand. I know when he gets that, my dad will be unstoppable. Its going to be amazing, just like him! :)
