A New Ride

Yesterday we went to Dallas to have Brad's follow up appointment with his orthopaedic surgeon.  We didn't get any huge news, just that Brad won't be able to put weight on his left leg for a couple more months.  He's still going to Physical Therapy and making good progress, though at times it seems slow to us.

I thought my foot would be healing a little faster.  It is uncomfortable to walk, but today I didn't really use my crutches or cane just a walking boot.  I twisted my ankle funny earlier tonight and I had some pain where my ankle fracture was.  Hopefully it's just tender and not making the injury worse.  I am SO ready to walk normally!  Hopefully I will improve enough over the next week or two to head back home.

So, on our way back from Dallas we stopped to peek at some cars.   The poor car salesman was hauling Brad's wheelchair and walker around the lot.  We found a car that we liked, so we just went ahead and got it.  It is a 2009 Chevy Tahoe.

It's been fun to drive.  We were trying to decide between the Tahoe and a minivan.  I'm not sure we really engaged our practical and frugal sides on this decision, but we enjoy being a little higher up with more car between us and the other cars on the road.
