Back To Work

It has been a little while since our last update. This is mostly because it has been a waiting game. John will be heading back to work tomorrow. His company has a desk job waiting for him and he is so ready to get back to work! We had an appointment on Monday with the orthopedic surgeon to check on the limb and see how it is healing and shrinking. He seemed to be very pleased with Johns progress. 

Even though it has reduced, John is still having phantom pain so they have changed his medicine they have also prescribed him a TENS unit. This device essentially uses electrical pulse stimulation to (hopefully) help with the undesired sensation. 

John has an appointment this Thursday the 14th with the prosthetist. They will be starting the process of fitting him with his prosthesis. We are both very eager for this appointment! I will be doing another blog later this week with all the information we receive after that appointment. 

In other news, we were able to go this week and do some shooting at the range with John's family! His Christmas gift this year was a shotgun so obviously we had to go try it out! We have decided this needs to become a very regular thing for us because we enjoyed it so much!! 

As always we love you all and deeply appreciate that you allow us to share our life.

Thanks to all for prayers and God Bless you!
