Country Dr B with the healing touch

Mid-morning snack of buttered crumpet

Tash's wonderful Dr Bachtold made a home visit this morning so that she wouldn't have the hassle of coming in to Sisters. She is cheered just by seeing him, and is reassured by feeling his caring competence. He checked her forearm, and agreed that it was very much improved, but recommended continuing the warm packs to reduce the inflammation. Checked the ankle, and applied a new lidocaine patch. 

Tashie is definitely getting better bit by bit - stronger and more steady.

We spent some time trying different furniture placements in the living room, with consideration given to the easiest manipulation of the walker around obstacles like chairs, tables, etc. A good project to mull.


I've been reading The Peabody Sisters to Tashie, and she is enjoying hearing the familiar names of her Concord history, starting with Emerson & Thoreau.
