Until the end of October! Ugh 2 1/2 months....the longest we've gone is about 3-4 weeks since he's been home from Iraq. He's in training for a new job within the Army. Hopefully this new MOS and change of duty station will make his life in the military better. We'll see though. We are in the process of filling out applications for a house to rent in El Paso. I move there at the end of this month. My mom is flying to CO on the 19th to help me with Lili and so we aren't all alone in Texas....and to watch the dogs while I go to my dad's for a few weeks at the end of September. The military is moving out stuff, even packing it so this move is going to be nearly stress free!
My thumb is doing much better. I go back again on the 20th to the Orthopedic doctors. I went on the 3rd and they told me I didn't really need to wear the splint anymore, but they gave me a smaller one (it's the size of my thumb instead of my whole hand!) that I wear when I'm doing something and don't want to bump it...which let me tells you, hurts like there's no tomorrow. I'm done with the antibiotics but I still take a percocet at night. I don't NEED the pain meds, but sometimes it does hurt and it helps me sleep better. I'm hoping my nail grows back soon....it's very awkward to paint only 9 nails lol. I did finally dig out a piece of nail that was embedded into my skin yesterday. I was worried it wouldn't move if/when my nail does grow back. But after my shower yesterday, my skin was soft (it got wet....woops, I think I'm supposed to keep it dry still) so I just pulled it off. All the wounds are closed now, but the fracture I'm sure is still there. It was almost a complete break (from what I saw on the x-ray at my last appt) so that part is gonna take some time.
That's about it for now. It's gonna be a lonely few months, but we'll manage.
