Still Taking It One Day At A Time

Chad had his final (I believe) follow-up appointment today for his knee. He was given the all clear! The knee is almost completely healed, the aching he experiences is normal and he has slight swelling. He still needs to take it easy but all restrictions have been removed :)

As long as he doesn't break any more limbs, he should be okay there. (You can see from the photo that he is quite happy about that lol)

We are waiting to hear from the VA with respects to another GI Consult. The never ending pain has made its routine return but it is lingering for a lot longer than usual and it quite sever. He's spent many-a-nights in the bathroom, vomiting and everything else unpleasant you can imagine. He can barely eat anything without getting extreme discomfort, he has shooting pains and he swells like a basketball.

All the tests they've run say he's perfectly fine but obviously they are missing something. He endures it pretty well but he is not ready to give up on finding out what it is or if there is anything that can make him feel a little more 'normal'.

His next CT Scan and blood work is scheduled for November. Thanks, as always, to those out there who show so much love. xoxo
