Day #1 Physical Therapy Check!

Day 1 of physical therapy is done. Im not sure what I expected, but we got it done. I have some homework to do before our next visit. This first time they just accessed what needed work and where to start. We are thinking within 4 weeks I should be where I would like to be. (at least able to get out of a chair unassisted) If not sooner! We are also going to be able to use the gear we have here at home (bow flex, etc) once I get some more strength. I will be seeing the therapist 2x a week as of right now.

Im super excited! Seems like good news. Heck, the day started off good. I was able to step into the shower unassisted! (this is huge) I could have jumped for joy. Its all in the baby steps.

I got 2 flower deliveries earlier this week. My Aunt Kristy, and Aunt Debbie sent me flowers! They are beautiful. They seemed to know when I needed some cheering up after a couple of hard days, and boom, flowers! I really do appreciate the kindness, and thoughtfulness of the people in my life. They didn't have to do the flowers, but the thought was touching.

I did have a funny moment today I thought Id share. Things you never thought Id say "guess Ill draw eyebrows on today for the physical therapy person"…… hahaha. (Ive been skipping makeup due to my sensitive skin)

(on a side note) My food intake is getting better. For some reason chocolate is still out, but I test it daily. Im ready to be able to eat some of those m&ms! Ive been able to eat almost anything else though. My mouth is really healing up well. My lips are halfway healed. The problem is at night. I guess Im a violent sleeper. I always seem to whack my lip in the middle of the night re-opening the wound. Either way its progress. So today Im doing pretty good. Today is a good day. Hope everyone else has a good day too!
