Running can hurt ones legs....

The snow is falling outside and the flakes are the size of baseballs here in Durango. It is just so pretty I don't even know what to do. This has been such a good week for the two of us and we are moving forward in such positive steps. Tony has been at work at least a few hours everyday and his pain level seems to be decreasing each day. As time passes, we are both learning how to live this new life and to take joy in the life we have been given. Knowing how bad things could have been and what kind of changes could have easily been handed to us, we are thankful each day.
Our friends across the country and support here in Durango is overwhelming and brings tears to both of our eyes often. The way the community has sort of rallied around us, calling, planning benefits for Tonys prosthetics, checking in and asking how we are is simply amazing. Many of our friends from around the country have discussed coming out for the benefit to support us and I cannot even say how much that means to us. My business partner, Bree has worked non-stop allowing me time to be home with Tony as much as possible and his partner at work has been doing the same. These selfless acts bring tears to my eyes as I know that in this economic climate, it is not easy for anyone to say the least.
We are flying to Denver on Monday of this week to meet with some prosthetic specialists and Tonys surgeon (and catching an early show for some fun!) and hoping to know a little more about how to proceed with the idea of a prosthetic. We are not sure how long this will take, how many fittings, or honestly anything about prothetics so it will be fantastic learning experience.
On a lighter note, Tricky Kitty (my all girls band) has found a guitarist and we are starting to ramp up our practice schedule for January 9th! So much fun!!
