After 3 full months of needing some form of help to get around, I am finally free from my crutches and moving around on my OWN 2 FEET! Let me tell you this, it sure feels weird wearing a shoe after 3 months! I will be starting physical therapy on monday for my foot, and I will also be seeing a chiropractor for my back and neck. I thought the Army was against chiropractors? I thought so too, but apparently, they have a chiro here. Not too shabby.
I start out-processing from Ft. Knox on the 20th, and I will be flying out of here on the 29th. At that time I will report to Illinois where I will in-process into the program called CBHCO (Civilian Based Health Care Opportunity). This program allows me to get health care while I live at home! I will be done in-processing by that following wednesday, which I think is the 2nd of July, making it so that I'm back home for 4th of July weekend!
Sarah and I, and I'm sure many others, are extremely excited for me to FINALLY be coming home 'for good'! I will, once all of my treatment is done (roughly around 2-3 months), have to go somewhere and out-process from CBHCO, then finish de-mobbing. But I don't have any idea where or when that will be until later, so no worries for now. And even when I do go do that stuff, it shouldn't take more but a few weeks.
See you all soon!
