Jer's Foot: Wednesday Feb 23

Jer has been doing okay. He definitely knows that if he does too much he pays for it the next day. Last night was painful for him, and today he is doing nothing more than resting. Over the weekend we attended a company Christmas party, Monday we saw the doc, and Tuesday he was cleaning the house too much in preparation for another showing.
 
What did the doc say? The bigger question is what did the doc DO?! Monday's visit resulted in some picking of tissue which in turn sent Jer through the roof. The doc was examining the dead tissue and mentioned that after seeing him again next monday he may want to take Jer to the operating room on Tuesday to remove the black tissue, wash the wound out, and see what's underneath. This is supposed to make the healing go faster too. It seems at this point we are hardly concerned about the broken bones, or the surgery he had. Concentration is more on the tissue of the foot that was crushed and damaged so badly. The doc also said Jer will not go back to work until this tissue is all healed up. Right now, we are looking at AT LEAST another month before he returns for LIGHT duty. Realistically I think it will be longer. Jer was wanting to go back to work next week. (crazy, i know). I'm sure he was quite disappointed to hear what the doc had to say this week.
 
We had a showing yesterday, which went well. These buyers just started their house hunt, and yesterday saw 4 homes. Ours was their favorite, however, they will be seeing more homes next week before scheduling any 2nd showings.
 
I am at the end of my rope. I cant keep up my life as it used to be. Uncle Dennis (Jer's brother) has been a Savior to me, picking up the kids at 5 and starting dinner, and helping Jer with everything throughout the day so that I could return to work. I'm not gonna lie, the last week of this has been pretty rough......Annie is starting to crack.
