Reinstatement

So, here's what up. I've been home since the end of September. I had an orthopedic appointment and then twelve physical therapy appointments. About halfway through my physical therapy, I sent in my request to be reinstated to my Peace Corps position since I assumed it would take a while for Peace Corps to process the request and paperwork. I was right, considering it's four weeks later and my request was finally approved. I now have to get cleared by the Peace Corps Medical Office. My orthopedist cleared me two weeks ago and my last physical therapy appointment was on Friday.

I'm am extremely grateful to all of the lovely people at the Campbell Clinic in Collierville, especially their physical therapy department. If I hadn't done the physical therapy, I'm not sure my ankle would have ever recovered in terms of flexibility and strength.  And they did their best to get my appointments done as quickly as possible so I could get back to my service.

In the meantime, I have been watching Dance Moms and Glee, reading, cleaning, and hanging out with the cats and dogs as seen below.

I'm also trying my hand at making videos, and here's a photo compilation from my first year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2MxNU_3OZU&feature=youtu.be

I don't have a specific return date yet since I still have to go through medical but it should be soon!

Buster and I go on daily walks. He enjoys barking at squirrels. And barking at cars. And people. And shadows.

The newest member of the Terry family: Lucy. Lucy enjoys zooming around the house and jumping on Stormy. She weighs four pounds and sounds like a squeaky toy.

Jinx is a little anti-social and is not a big fan of the dog or the other cats. Tiny meow, loud hiss. She does enjoy butt scratches and head pets.

Stormy is probably up to twenty pounds. Occasionally gives Lucy baths and is teaching her how to cat.
