Well, Rory's finger (stump) is healing nicely. The PA that saw him today said that it looked just like it should on a non-diabetic! So, I guess my kicking him in the ass to control his sugars is paying off. Last week, there was an area that was clearly not healing, and the doc was talking about "revising" the amputation... a fancy term for a "re-amputation", shortening it further. We thought we'd try to avoid that, so we asked for hyperbaric therapy. They agreed, but sent the request to the wrong department... argh. Fixed, but now the doc is on vacation, and the hyperbaric center has to talk to him before they will do anything. Double argh. Oh well.

The kids are back in school as of today. It is eerily quiet again here at the house. Maybe I will get some gardening done...
