Today was an awesome day! Late afternoon yesterday my boss sent me an e-mail and asked if I’d like her to come pick me up and take me to JA to be part of a 1:00 summer camp meeting today. She suspected that I was bored and she was totally right! It was like the night before the first day of school last night, as I was so excited I could hardly sleep. We surprised everyone at JA and no one knew that I was coming! It was wonderful to see everyone and share that things are healing well. It will take several days to play “catch up” at my desk and get reacquainted with things. A month is a long break … I couldn’t even remember the password for my computer. My staff did a fantastic job while I was away, and completed a phenomenal amount of prep work for summer camp. I almost feel bad just waltzing (or really riding on the scooter) in and teaching – they’ve done all the long hours of getting it all ready.
The shoes that I ordered arrived today and they are darling. I am trying to prepare myself that they may not fit right away due to swelling, but I am hoping that they will work sooner than later. They are good motivation for working hard at pt and hopefully I’ll be able to wear them by the end of June.
Only 5 more days and then the cast comes off! I’ve never had anyone “sign” or write on the cast, so maybe we’ll do a number “countdown” on the side of the cast over the weekend. I’m usually all about wanting it to look clean, so that may drive me crazy on second thought.
To those of you that sent cards to the hospital in Texas and are still having them returned, please know that you are not the only one. Not sure why but the San Antonio mail was super slow and there were more cards that were returned than made it through before we left. So sorry! It has been fun to have them continue to come at home. I taped 35 cards up on the closet door in my bedroom this morning, so I can see all of them at one time – lots of pink!
God continues to be good, while providing strength and grace. Therapy will be six hours a week starting next Friday … the hard work may actually be ahead yet, but I am confident I’ll make it. If there is anything that I have learned it is that you are often stronger than your wildest dream. Today is the 190th blog entry ... who would have ever thought I'd have this long of a story.
