It is 19 weeks since the accident and Jan drove for the first time since December 14th, 2008. It wasn't far or fast but she drove from my work to Sam's Club, which is maybe half a mile. She was nervous, even a little anxious, but did fine. I don't know that she will be driving to work any time soon but a little progress is still progress.
PT is going well and she gets through it mostly pain-free. He adds a new exercise each visit and she is supposed to do them a few times a day between PT visits. She does the TENS and ice at the end of her visit lately. Sometimes she does the TENS first but ice is always the last thing.
Her pain level fluctuates but she manages it with Tylenol and Advil. She complains about her sleep not being restful as well. I'm not sure what we can do about that.
We've been trying to find a summer vacation destination. Cancun, Mexico was our preferred destination since it has a beach and scuba diving. I'd found a nice place and cheap airfare but the $200 round trip airfare was short-lived. It has more than doubled. Florida is looking like the next viable option since we would drive there.
