| Miss Dagny and Miss Natalie! |
We continued onto our hotel in Rock Hill for the night. Nat's appointment was at 7:45 a.m., so we were up and out early. Although our bodies and minds wanted to stay in bed. Made our way to Dr. Anderson's office, which to our surprise was filled with staff and patients. The x-ray showed that Natalie was healing well, but the break was still visible. Again, due to lack of blood supply to that area, very hard to heal the break, will take a while. But all was going well. The stitches were removed and of course....had to bleed a while.....nothing is ever easy for our gal. With the bleeding stopped and the new "toe" splint in place we received our next plan of action. Which is.....splint for two weeks, no driving, can shower. Then to the boot for four weeks. Then to shoe with insert. Recheck October 30th.

There you have it. We left the office hopeful and excited with the news. The little things as they say. Made our way home with a couple of stops along the way. Did beat the holiday and race traffic, thank goodness. Had to make it quick, because Natalie had a coaching job to get home to. She was to escort a junior player to Birmingham for a tourney Friday evening. So, we had no time to waste.

| Coach Pluskota in Action! |
Just about home and Nat received a text saying that they wouldn't leave for Alabama until Saturday since the gal didn't play until the afternoon. Nat was excited, because then she could go with me to watch Coach Pluskota (her brother) coach his second regular season high school game. So, after a quick nap out the door we went. Join by Jaynie and Sadie, we went to watch high school football, and had a blast.
Yesterday morning, I dropped Nat off with Caroline and they made their way to Alabama. Unfortunately, horrible weather kept all the matches off the court. And they had an 8 a.m. match, Nat's favorite...hahahahha....NOT! Oooo the joys of junior tennis, glad its her and not me! Want to share a text I got from Nat this morning....soooo funny:
"That moment yesterday when I'm crutching into the hotel and a mom and her daughter go are you Natalie Pluskota and I'm like yes. And the mom and girl go....OMG my daughter was a ball kid for you a long time ago....I'm officially old!"
Yea....OK....Nat...you are old at 24....ahahahah now that's funny on sooo many levels! So, sweet that they remember Natalie. Guess it was a good experience for the young player, so that's good!
Well, Caroline won this morning and will play again at one. I guess she will play a total of 4 matches today if she continues here winning ways. Hope the matches are done by game time, or our gal will not be a happy camper. Oooo well, the price of being a working girl! Guess, I can send her updates.
Our Nana will turn 90....yes 90 on Tuesday. So, been preparing a lil family celebration. Excited to have found someone to bake her a cake and decorate it with a Wheel of Fortune theme. Her favorite T.V. show. Yesterday, my son Ed took her and me out for a birthday dinner. She really enjoyed herself and time with her first grandson.
I think that catches you up on everything! Hope our world finds PEACE and soon, so we can bring Andrew and all soldiers home to their families. God Bless American! Love and Blessings ....Sherry!
