Today showed significant improvement in the patient! Harry woke up and did exercises…
Then, he shaved and did PT, walking (well, still hopping) around the house. His “steps” are stronger and longer. The dogs enjoyed participating in PT! It was such a beautiful day, there was some longing for the outdoors, but Harry is being quite stoic about this trial.

Someday outside…
I had to tend to one of my least favorite tasks, cleaning the septic filter. Yuck! But it was such a beautiful day, any reason to be outside was welcome.
Then, it was time for some fun, taking pictures of horses (and cats). If you can’t ride ’em, shoot ’em…

Roscoe followed me out to the pasture. He knows he is the king of cats, he likes to be a part of things, and he loves publicity!

Brett came for a visit and brought B.C.’s gumbo, Harry’s favorite! As always, he also brought hilarity, even as we discussed the horrors of the medical system. Like everyone, he had to lift the infamous sculpture. I think Brett might have had the most success so far. He picked it up by the base, which is how Harry was holding it when his right foot slipped…
Careful, Brett!

Next visitor, Cherie ( a day of doctor visits! – too bad Medicare doesn’t count their assessments of Harry). Cherie brought a wonderful bottle of wine, which will wait for celebration of the end of this ordeal. Harry’s misery has made our social life quite full, not to mention feeding us well.
Not as strong as Brett! 
Almost 60 years of friendship
So it was a good day, still trudging through the woods, but feeling like we have turned a corner into a clearer patch, anyway. And what fun to find so many friends in the woods, as we go!
Harry and Jane 
Final word goes to Bart, who recommends plenty of rest!
Wonderful news and pictures, thank you for sharing!
Anne thank you for reminding us why we never stopped loving picture books. (The pictures.)
Well, I must admit, it looks like you all having nothing but a bunch of parties! The only true concern I witness in the various and wonderful photos is Nettie, so watchful, showing concern, and seems to understand this is serious! Do I sound as if I am admonishing you, NOT AT ALL!
Carry on, between your humor, your love, your fantastic friends and helpmates, GO Jane and Meredith!!! And, Weedy and Harry sneaking a snooze together, you are winning the battle!!!
