swelling

Thanksgiving has come and gone. We spent some time with my brother and his family and our older children spent some time with their significant others, and other relatives. There is always things to be thankful for, but this time around it seems like the things are really important.
Today, Carole went to work and Nick and I hung out together. It seemed like a good time to do some housework. Obviously, dishes, clothes and floor sweeping doesn't just happen. After some exercises, I did some stuff around the house to pick up. I'm trying to be helpful and everyday I am able to do more stuff at home. The other day, the therapist did a grip test on my hands. The left hand had a normal grip of around 110, but the right hand grip was around a 40, but we are working on it. I learned an interesting thing about swelling this week. Back on the 5th of November one of the therapist measured my head, looking in the mirror I didn't think it was enlarged at all. Well, she had a measurement of 57.5 cm., this week we tried it again. Surprisingly enough, in 10 days my head size around above my ears went down by 4 cm. I wish I had something to compare to from the hospital, but maybe I don't want to know. Have a great day.....
