I skipped week 11 since there really wasn't much to write about. Carol has continued to make good progress. She started back to work last week and survived. The wound continues to close and heal at its own pace. She went in yesterday to get the initial measurements for a prosthetic. Assuming no new issues she should probably be walking on it in 3 to 4 weeks. That will be a welcome change. She's starting to get used to going back to work. The early mornings (5am) are a little rough, but she's quickly adjusting.

Carol fell last week; the first serious fall. She had two or three others, but they were not bad. This time she hit the stump against the bathroom tile floor. She said it made her "see stars". After she got herself composed she called Dr. Ertl and talked to him about it. They concluded that she hadn't done any real harm. By the next day there was some bruising, but no real damage to her. The bathroom wall and towel rack weren't so lucky.

Yesterday she pumped gas for the first time since January. Since it, like everything else she tries to do on crutches, is so difficult I've been filling her tank for her.
