  1. My son was in much better spirits. Even got out for a walk in his wheelchair.
  2. Was able to get back to editing my novel. Can't wait to send it to my advance readers!
  3. Family karaoke night + snickerdoodles.

  1. Was able to rent a wheelchair for my son. He's supposed to remain in bed with his leg elevated most of the time, but now he can at least sit with us at dinner.

. . .

In truth, it was a day that was difficult to find the good in. It's as if 2016 is trying to get some final digs in, and not small ones. Here's hoping tomorrow will be a fresh start of sorts and more good can happen.

  1. My son got his cast on.
  2. We were able to get his pain medicine prescription filled (after trying three different pharmacies, but at least it's done).
  3. One of my best friends sent belated birthday presents, including an awesome Sherlock Holmes pillow.

  1. Nice morning with a friend...
  2. Which put me closer to the hospital when the call came.
  3. My son's leg is only fractured, not broken, and the joints are okay. (Trying to find the positive here.)
