Happy Holidaze Everyone!
So much has happened since our last update.
The election did not turn out the way we thought it would and now we buckle up for a tumultuous two years (mid term elections will disrupt any shenanigans).
Will continues to improve. We are, however, at that time of year where we have to take yet another Medicare necessitated time out from therapy.
This is always disconcerting and it puts pressure on me to continue with Will’s exercises, etc. to make sure he doesn’t lose any ground between now and the time we can return to PT and OT next year.
Here’s hoping the cortisone shots I’m getting in both shoulders this week help me maintain my strength as I am now bone on bone since cartilage is totally gone.
Guess I’m out for the Giants starting rotation 2025. Will’s knee still is not straightening and we are doing everything we can to alleviate the muscle tightness in his thigh. He has been getting acupuncture and a friend of ours who is an angel in disguise is giving Will’s leg muscle massages to break up that seemingly concrete area to make it easier to straighten the leg.
Once that knee is straight he can begin standing and putting weight on it—the last barrier to his walking again. Will’s arm continues to improve and he is back typing on his laptop with the aid of a mobile arm support that is attached to the table.
We continue to take field trips to theater and lunches. The picture attached is from our recent trip to the Curran Theatre to see Kimberly Akimbo. It was a fabulous performance and we got to meet and get an autograph from Carolee Carmelo, (Kimberly herself!) while waiting for our cab. It was a grand day and we have a few holiday theater outings planned.
Will’s show at the SF Punchline was very well received and sold out quickly. Thanks to all who came to support!
Will had a wonderful time being back onstage telling his jokes; we consider the Punchline our “home” since that’s where we met and where we held a benefit for ourselves to pay for our rings and elope to Vegas.
Will returns to the Punchline Sunday January 19th at 4pm as part of SF Sketchfest. This will be the pre-inauguration show, with Arthur Gaus featuring and Cathy Zhao hosting.Tickets
Will continues to record weekly commentaries for Pirate Butte Radio up in Bend, OR.
We wish everyone a very happy Holiday Season and hopes for a New Year that doesn’t bankrupt us all.
xoxo, Debi & Will
