Took the pics after we had put the wood post supporting the missing section. The aluminum I-beam completely folded, so will likely have to remove and replace instead of just repairing. There's a LOT of snow on it, and now it's started raining, so it's super wet and heavy. The entire region has just been shut down for nearly a week now. Thankfully, we haven't lost power at all, yet, because if we do for any length of time, we are pretty screwed. No heat, no cooking, no WATER, because our well pump won't work.
Here's a pic Big D took as he was braving the ladder to try and get as much snow off the roof as possible:
My hero! I'm pretty much useless right now. Although I am able to walk around the house without my boot on pretty well, I can't stay on the foot for long. My stitches came out last week, but the incision isn't healing all that well and looks nasty. It's not closing up. I think I'll be able to drive now, except that I can't even try and start the truck until most of the snow is gone. I'm supposed to be going to physical therapy, but I don't want to make appointments until I know how mobile I'll be. And since I have to do PT, it looks like I won't be able to make a trip to IL. I'm disappointed, because it would be fun to hang around with crazy auntie for a week or so.
Mentally, I'm doing pretty well. The Lexapro is definitely working, and I told the doctor that I'd like to stay on the 10 mg for now. Once I'm back at work, we'll see if I need to up the dosage, but I should give the 10 mg some time to fully kick in before I start tweaking dosage. I feel more like myself than I have in almost a year, so that's something. It's not all roses, but it's enough for now.
