Monday

It's a nice fall day today (partly sunny and warm).  The doctor was in this morning to visit with Jodi.  Jodi asked if she could have a little diet coke which the doctor approved as long as it was only a small glass.  Jodi was happy to try it, but it didn't taste as good as she remembered (probably not a bad thing).  The PT gave her a foot massage which she really enjoyed.  She can't lay on her stomach so a full massage is out of the question for now.  She stood next to me and I think she may have grown a couple of inches but I am still taller.  We thought she may have been taller yet after surgery but the doctors said that she had good spacing still between her vertibre.  Others that have the surgery may not have any spacing (bone on bone) and tend to get taller with the procedure.  They brought her a menu in english to choose her next meals, so she is no longer stuck to the pureed meals.  A woman from the Pro Spine office was over this morning to make sure things are going good for us.  She is going to contact the hotel in Straubing to make a reservation and a driver as well.
