Just back from another round of physio with Jon in the school pool. As of last week, our surgeon had encouraged us to help him to start bearing some weight on his healing leg—but only a fraction of his real weight at this point. So standing or stepping in the pool is ideal.
I expected that pain would limit his time in the pool. Not so, but Jon was quite careful with his left leg the first time in. By today he was eagerly taking slow strides as he held my hands. He may have spent a little less time on the left side, a kind of slow-motion limp, but it’s hard to say. Still, much farther along than last week.
He looked so happy, freed up by the water. Last week he gave me a long, tight, spontaneous hug, the first real hug we’ve been able to share in weeks because of The Wedge.
