oops...

well jon thinks he messed up his ankle...he tried to turn in his chair and his foot MOVED the BIG couch- OUCH!!! we've had ice on it..we think its swollen a little.. he thinks its totally broken..so far no bruising..so we'll see what happens thru the nite...
all in all it was a good day --marc was here with jon helping him with computer intefacing equipment from about 1-430pm..then we had dinner and fhe..it got pretty crazy here- i had to keep my cool and make the 3 older girls go upstairs for 5 minutes or i was going to lose it with everyone!!! but we regrouped and it turned out fine..i know heavenly father is helping!!!
tomorrow we have no appt's other then a doctor's appt at 430pm..the pain guy..to see how this methadone is working..
i talked to the rushtons and she told me her schedule- WAYYYYY easier then mine!!! she does everything..but after talking i realized she does a couple things in the morning and then a couple things at nite..and then she's done..he uses a condom cath so she never has to get up in the middle of the nite- imagine that!!! jon cant use a condom cath because his bladder doesnt empty all the way..a condom cath is used for people who's bladder responds by a reflex..since jons is half working half not(meaning it doesnt empty out completley UNLESS he's cath'd - if he's not completely empty he'll have the autonomic dysreflexia issue)..we have to do it how we've been doing it - DARN!!! then she said she does the bowel program every other nite..not daily like we do...i dont know if jons comfortable with allowing that to happen since his bowels are his BIGGEST pain issue sometimes..she only has to do one transfer from the bed to the chair..and she's able to use a hoyer lift..then she transfers him again from the chair back to bed..he sleeps on his side the entire nite and never rotates...jon rotates every 4 hours thru the nite along with getting cath'd and along with taking meds..rushton doesnt have as many meds because he has no pain..jons on 4 different meds JUST for pain and 4 different meds JUST for his bowels..
so sadly i was excited..then once i heard how different our injuries are and what were dealing with..i got so bummed out...so back to the drawing board to figure out what will work for our family...

well i cant believe its ONLY 9pm..feels like midnite to me!
